What if you had two instances of your service running and had a way to individually control the starting/stopping of each one? If you did this, you could shut down service A, change whatever you want, bring up service A, and then do the same for B. The "stop" command would really be a quiesce, allowing currently connected users to stay connected, but new requests would go to the other service. Once all the currently connected users disconnect, the service shuts down and you can do your work. This assumes that user sessions are relatively short-lived.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
