   Agreed that this type of BUSY event would be pretty useful if you want to fully   
   automate some things that require you to take the servers down.   
      
   I was experimenting with something like this before but what I struggled with   
   was exactly how I should handle existing connections to those servers.   
   Handling new connections during a defined maint window shouldn't be too hard   
   but figuring out the existing connections is a little more tricky.
