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.
