Hi,
This is the scenario
In a single server we have:
1 - IIS in which a web site runs.
This site is written using html and asp script
Users that work in this site can insert some data and click to obtain some results
This results are processed in (see point 2) by a win32 program
2 - An application server program written in fivewin/xharbour that performs calculations and creates a pdf
This program is in polling mode, that is,
the program checks if there are new requests from the web
The question is is:
to avoid that this program runs 24/7 is it possible to launch it for instance when a user logins
at the web site?
The program (2) after 10 minutes of inactivity turns off by itself
I found on the net a few things like this
<%
set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshShell.run "application_server.exe"
%>
But I do not know if could be a solution
Many thanks
