Plugin to prevent users from using Redmine while system operations are being done.

Only already logged-in administrators have access to the Redmine system during maintenance time whereas a configurable maintenance notice is shown to "normal" users.

You can also schedule maintenance windows. Users will then be notified in advance with a configurable banner message. If maintenance time has come, system will be put in maintenance mode automatically!

Be aware that this plugin only blocks non-admin users from the system, while the redmine rails stack is still running!

See branch redmine-2.x for a Redmine 2.4+ compatible version of the plugin
