Is there an easy way to take all sites in a multisite environment offline at the same time, in just one step? I really don't want to log in to each one and do it one at a time when I do something that involves all of them.

Assuming you have drush working, and have proper site aliases set up, the following should work:
drush @sites vset maintenance_mode 1
Turn take them all out, do
drush @sites vset maintenance_mode 0
If you are on Drupal 6, use site_offline instead of maintenance_mode.

I'm gonna set this up when I get a chance. Any good links for aliases? Commented Feb 9, 2012 at 13:52

I did a quick search when I answered, but didn't see anything in the docs. You can copy drush/examples/example.aliases.drushrc.php to drush/aliases.drushrc.php and edit. The file is documented. Looking at on of my multisite servers, fully defined aliases may not be needed.– mpdonadio ♦Commented Feb 9, 2012 at 14:10
If you have drush installed you could use this snippet:
#!/bin/bash
sites[0] = "http://www1.example.com";
sites[1] = "http://www2.example.com";
sites[2] = "http://www3.example.com";
for site in $sites; do
drush vset --always-set --uri=$site site_offline 1
done
I'm not an expert in sh scripting but something like that should work.
