There are instructions at the following page for getting jenkins to start in maintenance mode:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Post-initialization+script You can create a Groovy script file as $JENKINS_HOME/init.groovy With the following contents: import jenkins.model.*; // start in the state that doesn't do any build. Jenkins.instance.doQuietDown(); On a related note, I would like to be able to manually trigger and allow some maintenance jobs to run when Jenkins is in maintenance mode...
