I have a script, which checks email. I need to make this script running continuously. How can I do it, that the server has not killed it. And how can I start it? And what I must to do that start script again if server reboots?

Sounds like a Windows service might work; it would run continuously in the background, after you create the service you can start and stop it through Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, and you can set it to start automatically when the server reboots. Google ".net windows services" for more info.

I agree with tmmycat because it does not make sense to put it in a web form.

You can also use the Windows Task Scheduler. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308569

Have you considered an auto-refresh of the form? Is that an option?

Hi GarF1eld,
I suggest you to try use windows service in your project, to know windows service, see this link: http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/simplewindowsservice.asp

Also I suggest you try to use Thread or ThreadPool in your project.

To know Thread or ThreadPool, please visit the following URLs:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.thread.currentuiculture.aspx

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.threadpool(vs.80).aspx

Additionally, you had to writing a closed-loop method to check e-mail. and you can try the following code to solve your problems,

while(true)

{

CheckMail();

Thread.Sleep(2000);

}

If you just need to read emails from a remote account you could write the windows service and run it from your local machine, it would just connect to the remote server and grab the email.
