I love the idea of Capistrano, but it's not working for me in my environment. I hope there's something simple I'm missing, but I'm not sure. Here's the situation:
I don't have root on the app servers I need to automate. For each application, we have a Unix user for which I don't have the password, but which owns all the appropriate application files. To administer an app, I log in with my personal account, and then I "sudo su - svcuser" to become the service account, run whatever commands I need, then logout twice. Unfortunately, my limited understanding of Capistrano has failed me at this point. eg: task :sudo_test do sudo "su - svcuser" run "whoami" end I get prompted for my password, but then I get the shell prompt of the svcuser's shell as output and everything hangs. Any ideas? Let me know if you need more information. I appreciate the help.
