BTW - This was exactly the problem. That is when I ran the command using "ssh -T" it failed as per the issues I was having. When I run it using "ssh -t" (i.e. with pty-allocation) it worked perfectly. So one learning for me is that duplicating the commands on the remote server isn't the perfect way to to fault isolation (i.e. as it was running in pty mode, not pty-less mode). PSS. One addition (slightly embarrassing) thing I noted that wouldn't have helped is that there were times I was testing away from my main desk, so in this case I was using wireless from my macbook. You can probably see where I'm going. I did have at points the repository set to my MacBook address, which obviously was changing when I went into wireless mode. :( doh! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/capistrano -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
