turn on service using python

[doitjd1]

Hello,
Is it possible to add a gp task on my web application to turn on or off a service? for instance I have a streemap service on as default when the user loads the web application but I want to add a button that turns on the aerial service and turns off the street map service.

thanks

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do.
Are you trying to switch services that are currently viewed? This usually done with code in the web application itself. The services are not actually shut down.

If you truly want to shut down a service, you may consider the following:
