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!

Why just not kill the w3wp.exe process?
If the service is the only application on the server, restart the whole IIS by executing the command "iisreset" (as Administrator).

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.

What is the IIS Worker Process?
Instead of standard task manager you could use the MS Sysinternals ProcessExplorer. It will show you the command line a process was started with.
For a IIS Worker Process (w3wp.exe), it contains the application pool name.
For a IIS Worker Process (w3wp.exe), it contains the application pool name.
To get the command line parameters, you could just execute in the command prompt as administrator:
wmic path win32_process get processid,name,commandline | findstr w3wp
Get-WmiObject Win32_Process -Filter "name = 'w3wp.exe'" | Select-Object ProcessId,Name,CommandLine
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.
