 Hello,

ArcPy mapping already have nice functions to publish MSD to ArcGIS Server (arcpy.mapping.PublishMSDToServer), list services available (arcpy.mapping.ListMapServices). Would be nice to add ability to start/stop individual services using pyton script, list service properties, modify them (turn on/off KML, WMS), change timeouts, number of instances, etc.

While functionality is available using ArcGIS Server Manager, or AGSSOM script, having such a functionality in ArcPY would let automate routine works like chcking status of the services, deploying services on multiple servers, changing services properties.

Thank you.

I realize this post is aged - I just wanted to share this is supported via the arcpy.server module. Here is a link to help list it's capabilities. If you need more options than this, please let me know and I'd like to discuss your use cases.
