Not really a commment on your code although i must agree with many that it was well thought of.

This is just to share my experience in doing something like this. It was actually to shut down the website ... there was a party (go figure) to bring the site down. The 'committee' decided that the best way would be at a certain time I will bring the site down by sshing to the webserver and running a script that replaces the main page with a 'down' page. But since the webserver was modperl i also had to restart the servers. In the meantime the entire staff were doing refreshes to see when the 'down' page came up. I had to tell everyone to stop that 'cos the live connections were causing the apache server to not shut down until the connections died ...

Hope the story at least brought some fun into your lives.
