            Sorry if this has been asked before...  Is there a pattern
            to ensure a command gets run once and only once on a
            machine? For instance if I want to seed a database on the
            initial deploy but I would never want to run this command
            again.  I have been doing the following:
            shell: mycommand && touch somefile creates=somefile

            It works but wasn't sure if there was a better way.

            Thanks,
            Jon
