EPiServer scheduler hangs on startup when event log is full

Services based on Microsoft .NET framework with AutoLog* enabled hang on startup if the Application event log is full (it has currently been reproduced on .NET 1.0).
EPiServer Scheduler is a .NET framework service and is affected by this issue.
Resolution:
Clean the Application eventlog and the restart the server. If you are in a production environment and cannot restart the server you have to kill the hung process by using the pskill utility. The pskill utility takes the process id as a argument, you can find the current process id for the EPiServer Scheduler by using Task Manager in Windows.
* The AutoLog feature is a .NET function that automatically logs to the event log when the service is started and stopped, it cannot be turned off manually.
