    IIS5 on Windows 2000 has a resilience system built in where if the
    inetinfo.exe process crashes it will automatically restart - the program
    that does this is %systemroot%\system32\iisreset.exe with a /fail=failreason
    option. This causes an errorlog to be written to the event log and IIS5 is
    brought back up. This is good for websites that require maximum uptime.
