1. Create a pg_hba_maintmode.conf with only the relevant hosts in it.2. Copy 
pg_hba.conf to pg_hba_multi.conf.3. Copy pg_hba_maintmode.conf to 
pg_hba.conf.4. pg_ctl reload.5. Use pg_stat_activity and pg_cancel_backend() to 
kill the application connections.6. Do your work.7. Copy pg_hba_multi.conf to 
pg_hba.conf.8. pg_ctl reload
Or... just shut down the user application.
