Web site maintenance - global message

About once a week we upload and update all of the products in the database.

This intensive process takes about 15 minutes, during which time any pages that requires database access may time out.

There has to be a simple way to establish a "web site maintenance" message on the site while these processes run. Additionally cached pages need to be expired if they contain updated products.

I'm still working on a way to achieve this result.
