Hey all. I'm trying use Capistrano for the purpose of third party backup 
audits. I've got a set of capistrano tasks that are happily able to compare 
a few checksums and report back. That's great, but I'd like to be able to 
automate this process via a web interface, and also schedule this task. I 
think a rails app would be a good fit to do that. The only way that I've 
figured out how to do that would be something like this 

cap compare_checksums -S origin_server=some.server.com -S 
destination_server=somewhereelse.com

It's cool, I can pass in all of the values I need to have something that's 
dynamically reusable. But I'm bothered by the fact that I would have to 
sort of exit my rails app to do it. Additionally, I would like the rails 
app to be able to send an email alert if there's something wrong with my 
checksums. 

Anyway, that solution just feels a bit clunky to me. Anyone know how to run 
capistrano and pass it variable from within my rails application? Would you 
advise doing so? And how about getting output back from my capistrano tasks 
for emailing out? Or can you think of an altogether better way to do it?

Thank you!
Cory
