Are you interested in rebooting the machine or just the ArcGIS Server Windows service? You can use the subprocess module for just about anything you can do through the command line. For example, to stop the ArcGIS Server Windows service:
import subprocess
try:
result = subprocess.check_output("net stop \"ArcGIS Server\"",stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
print(result)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
print("Failed - {}".format(e.output))
When I need to do stuff like that, I usually use a function:
def submitCommand(command):
try:
codec = 'utf-8'
result = subprocess.check_output(command,stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
success = True
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
result = e.output
success = False
except:
result = traceback.format_exc()
success = False
if not isinstance(result,str):
result = result.decode(codec)
return success, result
I can then just call the function like:
success, result = submitCommand("net STOP \"ArcGIS Server\"")
print(success,result)
success, result = submitCommand("net START \"ArcGIS Server\"")
print(success,result)
You'll just need logic to handle the response and a failure.
