[thelist] ASP - Application never unloads

open a DOS box

type "mtxstop"

hit enter

then open the MMC, right click on the web site, choose "stop"


--The Application_Unload even isn't fired until the application (web site)
is stopped. If you want to reload the Application variables once a night I'd
schedule a script that does something like:


<%
' to prevent race conditions and ensure what we set stays
Application.Lock

' set my Application variables in here

 ' open it up again
Application.Unlock
%>

Hope that helps (and no, I'm not a robot or an employee of MS)
