Can't start or stop services

[TomMagdaleno]

For the past few days I cannot start or stop a service.  It will sit thinking for several minutes.  When trying to start a service it will think and never start the service.  The log will say
REST cache cleared on all machines. 

When trying to stop a service I get this error
"ERROR: Could not undeploy services from one or more machines. 'null'."

the only thing that has changed in the last few days are some patches installed on our windows 2008 server machine.  Any ideas where to start?

Have you checked in rest admin parameters ok?
For log in start 'REST cache cleared on all machines' in 10.1 if you have a multiple machine configuration, the REST cache will be cleared on all machines.

Rebooting the server fixed the problem.

Tomsriv:

I am having a similar issue in the AGS v10.2 environment.  Was this a one-time occurrence that was fixed with the single reboot?  Or is this a recurring issues that requires a reboot of the AGS server(s) on some regular schedule (e.g. weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)?
