Hi,

Those are warning messages for the application pool. The application pool are recycled at a predefined time. IIS waits for the pool to do a graceful restart, that is complete all the pending requests on the pool, shut it down and start again. But if the pending queue is loong or the process has hung, the graceful restart will fail and IIS will just do a forced recycle on the pool. Thats when these messages are generated.

You need not get worried with these messages unless the same pool ID gets reflected time and time again on the logs, in which case, there is somethign wrong with the pool or the site that the pool serves. The site may have scripts that are trying to use resources beyond the pools capacity or has applications that remain connected inspite of a page being closed. For example, ms-sql or mysql db connections may be maintained inspite of the page requesting it being closed. These are scripting problems and need to be taken up with the developer.
