What do you mean by "crashes"?? xp_cmdshell doesn't crash, so your statement doesn't make any sense.

It does, however, return a 0 or 1 depending on if the command was successfully launched. It does NOT tell you if the command it launched was executed successfully or not.

OH, and for future reference, you might want to read these[^].

Hi Dave Kreskowiak,

thanks for your reply, but xp_cmdshell is return 0 or 1 based on result its ok,
But my problem is every day at the same time we have to run multiple procedures,
these procedures are using xp_cmdshell and if it is bulk usage on that time it is crashes and not working, please give me how can i know whether the xp_cmdshell is working or not

Again, what do you mean by "crashes"? That isn't an acurate description of exactly what happens.
