John,
See Ezra's response in the thread here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.nginx.english/8978/focus=8990
That explanation is just for a single downtime notice, but you can use a
variation of his solution to accomplish what you want. For example:
server {
...
if (-f $document_root/system/back_soon.html) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /system/back_soon.html last;
break;
}
if (-f $document_root/system/down_for_a_while.html) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /system/down_for_a_while.html last;
break;
}
...
}
This will show the back_soon.html page if it exists. If it doesn't exist
and the down_for_a_while.html page does, then that will be displayed.
Otherwise, processing will continue normally.

Hello Nginx Community, and Happy New Year...
Is it possible to set the value of a variable based on the contents of a
text file?
So if there is site downtime, I can place a file in a directory that nginx
will see and will know to serve a downtime notice, but then can nginx read
the contents of the file to determine which downtime notice to serve?
Thanks,
