I didn't think run_method was an actor variable. I thought it was set
in the capistrano 'standard' script.
Plus wouldn't it be better if the 'add/remove' facility actually ran
in the context of the user on the machine. Then you can fire them off
in parallel.
Why log in as a user, sudo to root and then change to yet another user
to obtain data? Why not simply log in as the target user in the first
place and execute the necessary code as a pipeline in situ.
Meta-program a role list containing '[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]' and
then just 'run "crontab -l"'
Plus if you want to use sudo on capture can't you simply have the
command
capture "sudo crontab -u fred -l"
