hi, is there a way to use nginx to publish the maintenance file

[Pascal Nitsche]

  No not really.

First you could send the status code by dynamic (ex. php) maintrance 
file (I think this is a bad idea through...) Second you could do 
something like this:

try_files/www/maintenance.html $uri  $uri/  @maintrance;

location  @maintrance  {
   return 503;
}
