WebPing is a Windows app I created to refresh a specified site every 19 minutes. Why would anyone want to do this you ask? This is why. Basically if an ASP.NET application stays idle for 20 minutes on IIS6, the worker process for the application will be shutdown. When my site was in the early stages and not getting hit once every 20 minutes, dasblog would be restarted all the time and take a really long time to load on startup. Running WebPing on my Media Center alleviates this problem by hitting my site every 19 minutes and keeping the site active.

System Requirements: .NET Framework 2.0 beta 2

Instructions: Download the exe and place it in the location of your choice. The app takes a command line parameter to specify the URL you would like to have loaded every 19 minutes. Example command line call:
WebPing.exe http://ericappel.net/blog
You can also create a shortcut to the exe and place the URL at the end of the Target line in the shortcut's properties.

Download: WebPing.exe
