Examples

The following example stops a service named Fire in the root folder.

<Python installation location>\python.exe "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\tools\admin\manageservice.py" -u admin -p admin -s http://gisserver.domain.com:6080 -t -n Fire -o stop

The following example starts a service named Parcels in the folder Beirut.

<Python installation location>\python.exe "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\tools\admin\manageservice.py" -u admin -p admin -s http://gisserver.domain.com:6080 -t -n Beirut/Parcels -o start

The following example gets the status of a service named Fire in the root folder. The configuredState is what you have configured in ArcGIS Server—in other words, the status you would expect to see under normal conditions. The realTimeState represents whether the service is actually functioning and is what you want to check if you are interested in finding out which services are down.

<Python installation location>\python.exe "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\tools\admin\manageservice.py" -u admin -p admin -s http://gisserver.domain.com:6080 -t -n Fire -o status
configuredState: STARTED
realTimeState: STARTED

The following example deletes the service named Fire.

<Python installation location>\python.exe "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\tools\admin\manageservice.py" -u admin -p admin -s http://gisserver.domain.com:6080 -t -n Fire -o delete

The following example lists all the services in the site.

<Python installation location>\python.exe "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\tools\admin\manageservice.py" -u admin -p admin -s http://gisserver.domain.com:6080 -t -l
