Rails - Mar 2006 - Making SwitchTower work with csh (and other non-posix shells)

I tried using ST, but it didn''t work with the csh shell.  Today I
decided to make it work, and came up with the very simple solution of
wrapping the failed commands inside a bash instance.  Blog post is
http://www.flpr.org/articles/2006/03/02/make-switchtower-work-with-csh-hack

Solution (so you don''t have to read the blog post :) is to edit
$gems_dir/switchtower-1.0.1/lib/switchtower/scm/base.rb (line 34) to
read:

command = <<-STR
  /usr/local/bin/bash -c
  ''if [[ ! -d #{configuration.release_path} ]]; then
    #{guts}

    #{logging_commands(directory)}
  fi''
STR



So if you want to use SwitchTower along with csh, now you can.
