Here's how I've done that in the past:
run "passwd", :pty => true do |ch, stream, data|
if data =~ /Enter new UNIX password:/
ch.send_data(Capistrano::CLI.password_prompt(
"New root password: ") + "\n")
elsif data =~ /Retype new UNIX password:/
ch.send_data(Capistrano::CLI.password_prompt(
"Retype new root password: ") + "\n")
else
Capistrano::Configuration.default_io_proc.call(ch, stream, data)
end
end
Here's a pastie, if the above didn't get formatted well by your email
