Enter Lockdown Mode Recurring Tasks can be used to cause the server to enter lockdown mode, in which only a restricted set of clients will be permitted to issue requests.
This recurring task may be useful in chains where processing should be performed while the server is essentially idle and not actively receiving requests from most clients. While in lockdown mode, the server will report itself as unavailable and will only accept requests from clients with the lockdown-mode privilege. In such cases, the recommended recurring task chain should be:

cancel-on-task-dependency-failure
| Description | Indicates whether an instance of this Recurring Task should be canceled if the task immediately before it in the recurring task chain fails to complete successfully (including if it is canceled by an administrator before it starts or while it is running). If this is true, then the instance of this Recurring Task will also be considered a failure (with a state of "canceled before starting"), and if that instance is itself a dependency for any other Recurring Task instance, then that dependent task's cancel-on-task-dependency-failure property will be used to determine whether it should be canceled or preserved. |
