title: AWS .ebextension scripts not executing
body: <p>I have a powershell script in the .ebextensions folder but its not executing.  It used to work but suddenly has stopped working and there have been no changes to elastic beanstalk or the scripts that i know off.  I have two instance running under elastic beanstalk and if I log into one and then deploy my package it doesnt take the instance down.  I can literally watch the service (IIS Rest service) files being updated.  </p>
  
  <p>Elastic Beanstalk is configured for autoscaling min 2 instances max 4.  I've tried doing a deploy though the AWS Elastic Beanstalk console but no joy.</p>
  
  <p>Does it need to actually take the instances down in order to run the scripts? I find it odd that it can update the service without stopping the instance.</p>
  
  <p>Also do .ebextension scripts not execute against running instances? is there a way to force it to execute?</p>
  
  <p>What else can I check to see why the ebextensions are not being picked up?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks  </p>
