How to close a web application for maintenance 1

[hjmc]

Hi,

We are at the stage in a web app project where we are thinking about asking users to logoff or telling them that the app will close in 20 mins (for example) for maintenance purposes.

I think we have a way of telling users that the app will close in X mins.

Question: What are the best accepted ways of taking an application offline for maintenance.

Thanks

You can use an appoffline.htm file to automatically show a message to your users.
