Recycle an Application Pool on Demand (IIS 7)

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista

Occasionally, you may have to immediately recycle an unhealthy worker process instead of waiting for the next configured recycle. Rather than abruptly stopping the worker process, which can cause service interruptions, you can use on-demand recycling. Overlapping recycling, the default, lets an unhealthy worker process become marked for recycling, but continues handling requests that this unhealthy process has already received. It does not accept new requests from HTTP.sys. When all existing requests are handled, the unhealthy worker process shuts down.
