unless its your own server or your own dedicated server probably not without
asking

if it is your own server you remote access in and do an iisreset or you
could probably set something up in a different way

problem is stopping IIS effects every site on the server and under shared
hosting that is an issue

If you have permissions, you can issue a Net Stop command via a Shell
object. The problem is, the ASP user rarely will have the permissions
required to execute this command. so, te answer to your question is: yes
and no.

I had the same problem once
what I did is use scheduled tasks to run a script ever 15 minutes

the script would check a text file for the word reboot, if it found it, it
rested IIS

I also set a ASP page to writ to the text file

so all I had to do is go to my asp page and write "reboot" to the text file
and then the next time the script ran it restarted IIS

This again requires you to have some control over the server ...

My question is: if IIS is locked up so it needs to be rebooted, how will an
asp page run to trigger the reboot?

True, but an arrangement might be made to give you your own Application Pool
under your control if the server is IIS 6. Wouldn't it then be possible to
cycle the Application Pool without disturbing others?

good quesion,

My problem was that i nereded to reboot the server not IIS, of cause thios
would not work in this case but a simular thing could work,

like access a page on the IIS server with xmlhttp.open for example, if it
fails reboot
