[thelist] IIS6 Log Files

Hi Joshua,

IIS puts the comments in (and I believe they are comments) whenever the
website is restarted. The reason I believe that it does so is because an
administrator may have changed the fields actually being logged.

To prevent an IIS Application Pool being unloaded, you change the values via
the IIS Manager. Goto the properties of the Web Application Pool in
question, and goto the Performance tab. Set the value regarding "unload the
application after being inactive for xx minutes". You can also set this
property in the IIS Metabase via scripting if you prefer.

Cheers
Ken

: .jeff,

: I suppose if I was inclined to recompile analog (open source is such a
nice)
: I could do just that.  But, my issue, as I've recently discovered, is more
: than just a problem with analog.  My anal side wants to see nice and clean
: log files.  I'm not too keen when software changes its behavior from one
: version to the next.  At least this change is fairly benign.
:
: I've written a script to run through the log files and clean out the extra
: comments lines.
