I have a boolean set in my AppController to enable/disable the site.
If the site is disabled, I run $this->cakeError('maintenance') to send
the user to a custom error page explaining that the site is down for
maintenance.I also use a .lock file in the webroot to automatically disable the site when I am doing updates. My build script creates the .lock file before doing anything else, and once the updates are complete and verified, the .lock file is removed.
