Sometimes, one wants to put a yourls installation into “Maintenance mode” from the command line. Assuming your yourls is installed in /var/www/example.com/x/, the following command will put it in maintenance mode:
touch /var/www/example.com/x/.maintenanceThe following command will deactivate maintenance mode:
rm -f /var/www/example.com/x/.maintenance(Last update on September 1, 2026 was done by Editor F.)
