Is there a command that will put the hudson in maintenance mode. I mean, before shutting down the Hudson we first need to click "Prepare for Shutdown" button in "Manage Hudson" UI page, is it possible to do the above task from command-line.
Im writing a script to maintain the hudson - where in first i need to shutdown hudson, upgrade hudson, start hudson.
there are commands for Shutdown and start of Hudson. Looking for command that will prepare hudson for shutdown.

You should be able to call that address using
wgetin Linux to put Hudson into "prepare for shutdown" mode. Not sure how you would do that in Windows, though.
