Administering an ISP Installation

Stopping CGI Applications

You might discover that a customer has a CGI application that consumes CPU resources continuously. To keep this application from using CPU resources, you can turn on process throttling for the site (as described in the previous section), and then limit the total CPU time for each instance of the CGI application. When the true limit is reached (which is usually a maximum of 200 percent of the limit you set), the applications on that site are stopped.

For more information, see the “About Processor Utilization” topic in the IIS 5.0 online product documentation.
