locking out users

i am interested in locking users out of a filemaker database located on a filemaker 5.5 server while the database administrator runs maintenance. i would like to keep the file up on the server but prevent all users except for the administrator from accessing it. in addition, i would like to script this capability into my database so that the database administrator can perform the maintenance without having to do anything too complicated (like, go to the server, close the folder of files, open them locally, turn on single user on the main file, do the maintenance, switch the file back to multi user and open the folder of files back through the server admin window)

Hi, Miko! I don't know of a FileMaker way, but the server admin might be able to just go to the server and unplug its ethernet/network cable. Changing the IP address will work in some cases, too, but it depends on the network...
