Scripted Transfer Leaving Multiple Sessions Open
If I look in my task manager after the script has been running for about a week or so, I see multiple instances of "Console Interface for WinSCP (32 bit)" and "WinSCP: SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, S3 and SCP client (32 bit)" running in my task manager. If unaddressed this consumes alot of the servers resources and eventually starts to cause it to slow down drastically and crash other services. I have attached an image of my task manager.
My script does have an exit command and it does NOT appear to leave an instance running after each time the script fires. It runs every 60 seconds and leaves about 4 of them running a day.
I have updated WinSCP to the latest version at the time of this post which is 5.17.3. The only way I have been able to clean this up is to add a "taskkill /F /IM WinSCP.exe" to then end of the bat file that executes the script. Anyone know what may be going on? Thanks for your help.
Below is an example of the WinSCP script.
