Rails - May 2006 - Capistrano + symlink to a shared images directory

Hi everyone,

I have deployed a rails tumblelog site via capistrano, but have run into 
a problem. What I am wanting to do is this: In my deployment script 
create symlinks from the public directory so that the images directory 
points to a shared images directory.

Reason being is I am adding an image upload to the site (not 
file_column) and need to easily add the uploaded images and thumbs into 
a shared directory. Could someone please help me with the proper 
commands to map the public/images directory to the shared/images 
directory via the after_symlink task in deploy.rb?

thanks!

This ought to do it:

   task :after_symlink do
     run "ln -nfs #{shared_dir}/images #{release_dir}/public/images"
   end
