Execute task when w3wp.exe recycles?

[jdemmi]

I have an asp.Net web application running on the 1.1 framework on a W2K3 server.

Because of large object heap issues the w3wp.exe engine recycles periodically throughout the day (based on settings in IIS)

This is not a problem...

But...when this happens I need to execute a task. Specifically I want to restart another windows service. More specifically I need to recycle CRXIR2 report application service.

I know I can create a small batch file for restarting the service but how can I execute it every time that w3wp.exe is recycled?

Ideas?

Look into the AppDomain object for an event like Quiting, ShuttingDown, Exiting, Unloading, Disposing etc. in this event place a Process object to restart the service. I'm not 100% sure about this, but it's where I would start. Also google running code before application unloads. (desktop or asp.net, doesn't matter.)
