After the Apache "restart" throws an error twice in the same script
(my fault), any subsequent calls to that task seem to get ignored...

Here's the output of what I see...

http://pastie.org/673712

I have :on_error => :continue on the "appliance:apache:restart" task,
so it correctly continues the first time, but the next time it
encounters "appliance:apache:restart" it seems to ignore it (in this
case it continues on to execute "appliance:php:install").

Then I run the same "cap" command on the command line. In this case, I
have an "after('deploy:setup')" block that goes on to install the LAMP
stack. Soo when I run the same cmd again, and it gets to the
"appliance:apache:restart" part, cap ignores it completely:

  * executing `appliance:apache:restart'
  * executing "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart"

And nothing after that.

ruby 1.8.7
capistrano 2.5.9

Output of the _second_ time deploy:setup was run:

Basically you see a lot of this, as shown before:

  * executing `appliance:apache:restart'
  * executing "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart"

Thanks so much for looking at this.

    I was trying to reproduce this behaviour in a simple task but I
cann't :-(

I tried with this task:

desc "Something to check it"
task :on_error_test, :on_error => :continue, :role => :app do
    run "~/foobar.sh"
end

    foobar.sh is a simple script(echo message), it's stored in all hosts
except only one to make it fail.
And it show me a correct behaviour. The task is executed in all servers
fail or not fail.

    The second test that I did was write a syntax error in the script
(a  command not found) and one server without the script. The task was
executed in all servers likewise.

    The third and last test, I added a exit 1 (I test it with an exit 2
too) in the script to return an exit value. And again I cann't reproduce
it :-(

Could you paste again your deploy.rb?
