Try the HOSTS environment variable: cap HOSTS=app2.example.com production deploy
Note that doing this will treat app2 as being in every role, not just whichever role(s) it happens to be declared in. If what you want is to do a regular deploy, but only act on app2, and only as app2 is declared in your recipe file, you can use the HOSTFILTER variable instead: cap HOSTFILTER=app2.example.com production deploy Sorry if the distinction isn't clear there. Let me know if you need more clarification as to the difference between HOSTS and HOSTFILTER. - Jamis On 1/21/09 9:54 AM, Pete Hodgson wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I have a system in production that has several servers in serveral > roles.
