How can you start a process from asp.net without interfering with the website?
- by Sem Dendoncker
Hi,
We have an asp.net application that is able to create .air files.
To do this we use the following code:
System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
//process.StartInfo.FileName = strBatchFile;
if (File.Exists(@"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"))
{
process.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe";
}
else
{
process.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe";
}
process.StartInfo.Arguments = GetArguments();
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
process.PriorityClass = ProcessPriorityClass.Idle;
process.Start();
string strOutput = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
string strError = process.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(strOutput + "<p>" + strError + "</p>");
process.WaitForExit();
Well the problem now is that sometimes the cpu of the server is reaching 100% causing the application to run very slow and even lose sessions (we think this is the problem).
Is there any other solution on how to generate air files or run an external process without interfering with the asp.net application?
Cheers,
M.
