iis restart and Session _onEnd

[abcd]

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

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

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.
