Python script changes and the geoprocessing service

[SteveFudge]

I have setup a couple of geoprocessing services in Arcgis Server 10.1 that are based on python scripts.  The geoprocessing services run just fine.  However, there are times when I have to make small changes to the python scripts.  Whenever that happens, I've been republishing the updated script as the geoprocessing service.  I haven't found a way to simply "update" the geoprocessing service whenever there is a python script change.  Restarting the service doesn't seem to incorporate the script changes.  Is there any way to avoid republishing a python script as a service when a small script change occurs?

Yeah if it's a small change you could just change the script from the folder where the gp process was published too. That location would be:

C:\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput

Then wherever you published the service too.

Hope that helps.
