Q: 

Explicitly starting WCF service in IIS

Hi guys, I've got a WCF service with quite a long start up time (lots of data is being fetched from Oracle into RAM). It's recycled everyday at 4am which is fine, but I would like to explicitly start it at 4:30am so the first user (using Silverlight client) will not have to wait for the service to start next morning.

What would be the best approach to do this?

+1  A: 

How about have your own pump priming client app start right after it's recycled?

That's a good idea. But is there a way of writing/getting more general tool which will just to force WCF service to be created? I mean, if I have 4 services, I would like to use one tool just to start them (without building a separate client for all 4 of them).

No, there's no better tool.
