I was thinking of a way to specify when the nodes would be down, but still
allow jobs to run as long as the requested time can be completed before the
scheduled downtime.  I Googled this some more and this may be a feature of
the Maui scheduler, and not part of PBS.

one way is to stop all queues so no jobs will start until the system 
is ready and queues are started again.
You can still submit jobs but these will not run (if there are slots
available)
I think that you can also disable all queues if you do not want 
anyone to submit jobs
