Cool, will be looking for that when you get it released. It also brings
up an interesting question I had last night.
In the Windows Services Properties, you can define what to do if a
service dies. In the recovery tab, you can tell it to do nothing, run a
program, restart the service, or reboot the server. I would assume this
program would fall into the same category.
If I set this to restart the service, I run the risk of any add-ons
(i.e. SurfControl) not working properly, so the next logical choice is
to restart the server, as this will load things in the proper order.
However, if I set it to restart the server, I would think that might be
a possible security loophole. I don't have any details on "why" that
would be a security risk, but anytime you can cause a server to reboot
via a fault sounds dangerous.
What do you guys think?

Dan,
If you ever get these types of errors, let me know and you can use
ISAReset
(in Beta) to capture a .dmp of the issue for the ISAPI Filter
developers.
It will also automatically restart your ISA services.
More info:
http://www.xcache.com/home/default.asp?c=67&p=810
Command Line:
ISARESET.EXE (c) Post Point Software 2005
Usage:
iisreset
/RESTART Stop and then restart all ISA services.
/START Start all ISA services.
/STOP Stop all ISA services.
/REBOOT Reboot the computer.
/DUMP Create a MiniDump On Exception.
/REBOOTONERROR Reboot the computer if an error occurs when
starting, stopping, or restarting ISA services.
/NOFORCE Do not forcefully terminate ISA services if
attempting to stop them gracefully fails.
/TIMEOUT:val Specify the timeout value ( in seconds ) to wait
for
a successful stop of ISA services. On expiration
of this timeout the computer can be rebooted if
the /REBOOTONERROR parameter is specified.
The default value is 120s for restart, 60s for
stop,
and 20s for reboot.
/STATUS Display the status of all ISA services.
/ENABLE Enable restarting of ISA Services
on the local system.
/DISABLE Disable restarting of ISA Services
on the local system.
