Load the web.config for a web app and add a space at the end of it or if
there is space at the end then delete the space and then re-savethe file.

you need a touch utility. There are zillions of these on the web. Eg,
http://www.simtel.iif.hu/pub/pd/43977.html

or,
just save this into a batch file:

@echo off
setlocal
set r=%date%.%time%.%random%
@set r=%r:/=-%
@set r=%r: =-%
@set r=%r::=%

::may need to select the appropriate app directory here

::save current version as backup

echo backing up current web.config in web.config.%r%
copy web.config web.config.%r% >nul

::This line copies a file back onto itself, updating the timestamp

copy web.config + ,, >nul

endlocal
