    Description

      It would be useful if maintenance mode could be scheduled, rather than switched on manually. This would be extremely useful for scheduled maintenance where you know beforehand what time you will be putting the server into maintenance mode.

      Users could then be shown warning notices saying something like "This server will go offline in 12 minutes"
