iis restart and Session _onEnd

When IIS is restarted session_onEnd is called. though the debugger is not
available at this point in Session_onEnd, is there any way that the code in
session_onEnd is running due to iis restart and not from the timeout.

thanks

Re: iis restart and Session _onEnd

I mean is there anyway to detect in session_onend that code is running due
to IIS restart or timeout....

[The session can also end by software command.]

try:

if application("firstSessionOnEnd") = "" then
'' do your one time things
application("firstSessionOnEnd") = "hasFiredBefore"
else
'' do things that you only want to do at later times
end if

Re: iis restart and Session _onEnd

thanks Evertjan. But how this will help me to detect the differnce bettween
timeout and explicit IIS restart...in both situations code in session_onend
runs

I agree. My example would not work. However:

Further thinking brings me to doubt your first point.

Say:

1 The server stops because the power fails.
2 The server restarts manually or automaticly.
3 So IIS restarts.

Question:

The Session_onEnd of what session is executed?
Of all sessions that existed before the crash?

=====

It is a longtime adagium in this NG never to use Session_onEnd for
serious business, you cannot trust it.
