task :setup, :roles => [ :app, :web, :db ]
# normally this would run every where
end
ROLES=app cap setup # this will only run for the app role, overwritting the default declaration
* Added :hosts option to task definition that allows you to specify cross-cutting tasks [DHH]. Example:
task :setup, :hosts => [ "06.example.com", "01.example.com" ] do
