asked on How to stop a webservice from running
I have a webservice that ran with a bug in it. The web service is still running and I'd like to stop it from continuing to loop.
I am using Windows Server 2012R2 and IIS Version 8.5. It is a Windows Web Server.
I have stopped the website. I have stopped the application pool. I have waited a few minutes before restarting them.
But the webservice still keeps running in the background.
I have not reboot the box, but that is the next thing I am considering.
Any ideas? Thanks!

okay, I googled that:
At the command prompt type “taskkill /IM w3wp.exe /F”. Press Enter.
How do I start it up again though?

oh, I was reading this about it.

It says it is a task, so I was thinking, I should just be able to kill the IIS Worker Process in the task manager?
Looks like there are 3 running. But I don't know enough about it to know I'm not going to break something.

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

Thanks! I don't know if that didn't kill the process or if I have something else going on. It's still creating the bogus records as though it is still running. So back to the drawing board.
When you stop a WP, it will be started again if the IIS still receives requests to the app.

I found this method is being called elsewhere in the code, not in the webservice, so that is what is triggering the failed records also.
I'll have to publish the fix tonight and hopefully we'll be all good.

Was glad to help!
If the service is the only application on the server, restart the whole IIS by executing the command "iisreset" (as Administrator).
