Ideally, you should wait until the time of minimum usage before installing patches - and if you've configured your servers properly, you can usually wait to install patches until that time. You'd then be able to notify users about downtime for scheduled maintenance ahead of time. > Is there any way to tell Cold Fusion to stop accepting > any new requests, but complete what they started- so > you can reboot when nothing is going on? If you're using IIS, you can pause the web service, so that it won't accept additional connections. Of course, some people may not be able to "complete what they started" - for example, they may finish a form but not be able to post it. > Can turning off the CF service cause data corruption? I don't think so; killing it, on the other hand, may well do that.
