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!
