I have done that before, and it works when I need to do system level things. But in some cases there may be another user who I want to keep on, or I may want to log on to other tubes while the system is in a pseudo restricted state. Normally, this is only done for data wide level things. There is a procedure that we run that purges our database of old records and moves them to history. While this is run no one can be using the files (for obvious reasons) and normally this is done after hours. Sometimes it is done during hours (during lunch hour if we can) and at that point it is easiest to just kick everyone off the system and keep them out 'til the job finishes. But, there are a few other people in MIS who may be doing something that need to stay on during this period. Or I may need to do things during this period. By kicking everyone off and just locking the initial program, anyone "in the know" can still log into the system. I am sure I could do it programmatically (have the initial program check a data area for a flag or something) but this is just easier.
