Redmine Maintenance Mode plugin

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

Only administrators have access to the redmine system during maintenance time whereas a configurable maintenance notice is shown to other users. Also, login for normal users is blocked!

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. This will log out non-admin users and prevent them from logging back in.

Be aware that this plugin only blocks non-admin users from the system, while the redmine rails stack is still running! It will NOT shut down redmine!

• This plugin is tested with Redmine v3.0 - v3.4, v4.0
  • See branch redmine-2.x for a Redmine 2.4+ compatible version of the plugin
