What Rafael said, except if you're rescuing the exception you should be
able to leave off the :on_error => :continue bit.
Also, to force a task to succeed or fail...I assume you mean run()? Or
do you really mean task()?
To force a run command to succeed, just append "; true" to the end of
the command:
run "something that might fail; true"
Likewise, to make it fail, just append "; false" to the end:
run "something that must fail; false"
(That's not Capistrano magic, that's *nix. Most (all?) unices come with
'true' and 'false' commands. The 'true' command does nothing except exit
with a status code of 0. The 'false' command does nothing except exit
with a status code of 1.)
