Restart Web App

Question

Hello, I need to restart specific azure web app on specific period every day. Can we restart the services using Web Job?

Answer 1

In short, yes. Follow https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1355447/restart-azure-web-app-via-web-job-with-powershell

Another option is to use an Azure Logic App. More at https://www.stevefenton.co.uk/blog/2020/07/start-and-stop-an-azure-app-service-on-a-schedule-with-azure-logic-apps/

Handian Sudianto Thanks for your response.

• The above error occurred since by default the Azure PowerShell (Az) Cmdlets modules won't be available/installed on the app service worker instance.
• Also, you won't be able to install the required PowerShell module since installation required to change the execution policy which needs admin privilege.

Can you confirm have you followed all the steps suggested by @TP also are you running those cmdlets on azure automation account?
