Hi,
I have a website that is running some background tasks as separate
executables with Process.Start.
This has been working like this for a long time. However recently on one of
the servers this stopped working and the Process.Start call blocks without
ever returning.
There is no exception there is nothing in the event logs.
The user running the app pool has rights to the folder and can execute the
process correctly (i tried this with Run As on behalf of the app pool user
and it works).
Thoughts? I really didn't feel like doing some production debugging on
Saturday night ... so maybe someone has a brilliant idea.
Regarding code, it's just the most basic Process.Start possible:
var processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(Executable, arguments)
{
CreateNoWindow = true,
WorkingDirectory = Folder,
UseShellExecute = true,
};
var process = new Process
{
StartInfo = processStartInfo,
EnableRaisingEvents = true
};
process.Exited += process_Exited;
process.Start();
Thanks,
Corneliu.
