I'd like to suggest the following features, which seems quite relevant to the module's description:

For each selectable multisite:

  • Put the site in/out of maintenance mode (a previous module looks defunct)
  • Run its module update script

If a batch operation are not possible, then how about for each multisite, just a link to various page on each site (link target into another window/tab). For example:

Multisite domain Go to a multisite landing page
Admin Site Maintenance Update.php Status page Available updates Modules
subdomain.com go go go go go go
anotherdomain.com go go go go go go
example.com go go go go go go
domain-37.com go go go go go go

Perhaps the table could reflect whether, for example, a multisite was in/out of maintenance, or required updating?

Just to be thorough, also an option to log-in to selected sites, or links to the site log-in page at /user, although the Persistent Login module can help here.

mass update hooks is something I was dreaming about from the very beginning. Unfortunately, Drupal's update.php is (was?) not the most component-ized code to be able to call, so it makes it very difficult.

I like your work around--a table of sites with some direct-access points would be convenient. I'll take patches....

I've just discovered the "Drupal Remote Dashboard" (D7) which requires the "Drupal Remote Dashboard Server" (D6, D7), and seems to do maintenance tasks too.

Feel free to close bug, if those modules do what you wanted.

I still like the idea of the table of sites with links to key pages, so I'll leave it open in case someone is inspired to try the patch.
