To my knowledge there is no quiescent / read-only mode [although that is
a good idea; I'll make it a feature request for OpenGroupware Coils].

Probably the best thing you can accomplish is the lock down database
permissions; attempts to modify the data will fail with ugly errors but
the app should continue to function.  Just revoke INSERT, UPDATE, and
DELETE on all tables except "log" and "session_log" to the account the
OpenGroupware daemons' connect as.  The daemons needs write privileges
to "log" and "session_log" in order to run.
