My apologies. I built a model that stopped and started services while some updates were made. It turns out the tools in the model that stopped and started the services were actually python script tools. I found them online somewhere, I can't remember where. Here's the code I have with my server info taken out.
# Demonstrates how to stop or start all services in a folder
# For Http calls
import httplib, urllib, json
# For system tools
import sys
# Defines the entry point into the script
def main(argv=None):
# Print some info
print
print "This tool is a sample script that stops or starts all services in a folder."
print
# Ask for admin/publisher user name and password
username = '' #put your username here or get it from a parameter
password = ''
# Ask for server name
serverName = '' #your server name
serverPort = #your port integer type
folder = '' #folder that contains the service or services
stopOrStart = 'STOP'
# Check to make sure stop/start parameter is a valid value
if str.upper(stopOrStart) != "START" and str.upper(stopOrStart) != "STOP":
print "Invalid STOP/START parameter entered"
return
# Get a token
token = getToken(username, password, serverName, serverPort)
if token == "":
print "Could not generate a token with the username and password provided."
return
# Construct URL to read folder
if str.upper(folder) == "ROOT":
folder = ""
else:
folder += "/"
folderURL = "/arcgis/admin/services/" + folder
# This request only needs the token and the response formatting parameter
params = urllib.urlencode({'token': token, 'f': 'json'})
headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Accept": "text/plain"}
# Connect to URL and post parameters
httpConn = httplib.HTTPConnection(serverName, serverPort)
httpConn.request("POST", folderURL, params, headers)
# Read response
response = httpConn.getresponse()
if (response.status != 200):
httpConn.close()
print "Could not read folder information."
return
else:
data = response.read()
# Check that data returned is not an error object
if not assertJsonSuccess(data):
print "Error when reading folder information. " + str(data)
else:
print "Processed folder information successfully. Now processing services..."
# Deserialize response into Python object
dataObj = json.loads(data)
httpConn.close()
# Loop through each service in the folder and stop or start it
for item in dataObj['services']:
fullSvcName = item['serviceName'] + "." + item['type']
# Construct URL to stop or start service, then make the request
stopOrStartURL = "/arcgis/admin/services/" + folder + fullSvcName + "/" + stopOrStart
httpConn.request("POST", stopOrStartURL, params, headers)
# Read stop or start response
stopStartResponse = httpConn.getresponse()
if (stopStartResponse.status != 200):
httpConn.close()
print "Error while executing stop or start. Please check the URL and try again."
return
else:
stopStartData = stopStartResponse.read()
# Check that data returned is not an error object
if not assertJsonSuccess(stopStartData):
if str.upper(stopOrStart) == "START":
print "Error returned when starting service " + fullSvcName + "."
else:
print "Error returned when stopping service " + fullSvcName + "."
print str(stopStartData)
else:
print "Service " + fullSvcName + " processed successfully."
httpConn.close()
arcpy.SetParameterAsText(1, 'true')
return
