An agent would be the best way, so the agent would notify the user of 
the maintenance and the user could delay it for some time.

If the delay is over and the system isn't idle, the user will be logged 
off, since he already had enough time to prepare for the maintenance.

Users are "stupid", they don't log off over weekends or holidays, so you 
need to force them to do the right thing.

I have configured my systems to WOL on Saturday morning, so I could 
apply changes at least once a week, but some are always logged in.

If you tell them they don't leave the light on at the toilet at home, 
they just laugh at you.
