How to tell if IIS is running?

[stfaprc]

In XP-Pro, IIS7

are there equivalents to the linux

service httpd

and any of the {start|stop|restart|condrestart|reload|status|fullstatus|graceful|help|configtest}
options ?

net start with no parameter will tell you which services are started. net start servicename will start a service, net stop servicname will stop a service. For other options & information try: net /?, net help start, net help stop, etc.

 

[mscallisto]

or for options and info just type net and hit enter

You could always try browsing to

http://localhost

or your own ip address in a web browser.

The real world is not about exam scores, it's about ability.

The net command did not really do what was needed. net start just listed whether the service was running, which did not reflect the status of the web site.

I finally found the vbs scripts for startweb and stopweb in a subdirectory of InetPub. I did not find a vbs script for checking the running status.

Unfortunately, running either startweb or stopweb does not change display when looking at the IIS Admin screen. The only way I found to check to see if [start/stop]web worked is to try to access

http://website

.

Isn't there a known process for IIS? You could check is that process is running. Cannot test it myself because I don't have IIS in the computer.

Cheers,
Dian
