Command-line tool for managing ArcGIS (in particular ArcGIS Server), including performing data maintenance, and service publishing automation.
Depends on arcpyext (https://github.com/DavidWhittingham/arcpyext) and agsadmin (https://github.com/DavidWhittingham/agsadmin) for functionality. agsadmin doesn't require any ArcGIS software or licence, but arcpyext does. Tested/maintained on Python 2.7.
Once installed, simply run agstools from a shell prompt (assuming the Python scripts directory is in your PATH environment variable).
Help is available on the command line tool with the -h/--help switch. The main help screen is reproduced below:
usage: agstools-script.py [-h]
