Maintenance Mode Control

The standard WebGUI upgrade.pl script will turn on maintenance mode while it is upgrading a site.  This contributed script gives an admin the ability to turn on (and off) maintenance mode for a specific site for other reasons.  

When in maintenance mode the site displays the static webpage docs/maintenance.html.

I put this script into WebGUI's sbin directory and from that directory have been made a command "--start" but nothing happens.

How should I use this script?

Thanks!

There is a --help option which will give you all the options. But the main idea is that you run it as follows:

% perl maintenanceMode.pl --configFile=<your-config-file-name> --start

 This will put the site controled by that config file into maintenance mode, and --stop will take it out.  A few notes: you will probably need to be super user to run this properly.  Also <your-config-file-name> should not include the path.

 Hope this helps.

It seems that it doesn't work with WebGUI-7.0.6 /perl5.8.8.

It returns an error.

Could anyone help.

Thanks
