Using wgReadOnlyFile

Suggestion: append this to your LocalSettings.php file:

$wgReadOnlyFile="$IP/read-only-message";

Then, change your script like this:

echo
echo "Putting the wiki in Read-only mode..."
echo "Backup in progress. Access will be restored shortly." > "$wikidir"/read-only-message

...

echo "Bringing the wiki out of Read-only mode..."

rm "$wikidir"/read-only-message
