I''m attempting to auto deploy a rails application to a development server periodically during ongoing development. I''ve setup ssh keys to allow the proper user auto login permissions, but have ran into 2 issues. 1. When the script is run from a cron job as the same user as I currently manually deploy from I receive an error when reaper tries to execute - "can''t get terminal parameters (Inappropriate ioctl for device)". I''m assuming that the reaper script is trying to capture the PIDs to restart on the remote server and cannot since there is no terminal running. Is there way give a virtual terminal to be used? This maybe just Linux related question -but thought I''d start on the rails list. 2. Periodically when the "sudo reaper" portion runs during deployment, a password prompt will display and the password will need to be entered. What causes the password prompt -according the docs the sudo commands will use the same credentials in the auto login or previously entered when the rake deploy command first starts.

Every time, or more than once per deploy? Assuming you mean every time, your answer is in what you wrote. You are using ssh keys to allow for auto login, but sudo as configured on your remote hosts requires your password. -- Ray

I''m using svn hooks with a cron script to auto export on EVERY commit. It does a lot of other things as well - backup, email notification, reload of the DB structure, reload of fixtures. This way I have a deployed app on every change. It''s very easy to do with svn hooks and some ruby/bash scripts.> 1.

I find it''s usually better this way, as I can also set environment vars in the ~/.bash_profile to set things like the rails environment. See if that also solves your problem. If you are running a system with SELinux active, there are even more complications, so be careful with that.> 2.

You can let it run passwordless if you want (but then limit the commands to be executed!), or you can set a timeout for the password, so that it''ll ask for it the first time only, and remember it for the duration of the timeout. If you give something like 3-5 minutes of timeout, you should be able to easily deploy with only one password entry. I have in my blog some info about using sudo for rails deployment: http://devblog.famundo.com/articles/2006/03/06/capistrano-aka-switchtower-and-security. And I can give you some help in fine tuning it for your environment. Bye, Guy. -- Family management on rails: http://www.famundo.com - coming soon!

Hi,
I have added a rake file in my rails application that executes cap
deploy for my application on a button click. When I run this command
directed from my application folder it deploys correctly.
But running cap deploy as rake tasks gives me following error
executing `deploy:update_code''
updating the cached checkout on all servers
executing locally: "git ls-remote ---
command finished in 10805ms
* executing "if--- fi"
servers:
stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device
stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device
stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device
*** [deploy:update_code] rolling back
Any help on this will be highly appreciated
Thanks,
