rspec users - Jul 2008 - Capistrano: after_deploy system specs?

Hi everyone,
I was curious if anyone out there had any examples or advice for running
specs on system status.
I would like to analyze unix utilities such as ps -aux|grep dispatch,
uptime, top (ruby processes), proper log activity, etc. Write now I
frantically scramble through these on the command to make sure
everything''s
okay and a rollback isn''t in order.

So far I''ve only found one writing about the subject:
http://www.vaporbase.com/postings/Running_rspec_after_you_deploy

This artcle (very cool) has his post deploy rspec results outputted to the
server in question as HTML, so a few minutes after the deploy he just visits
the web page.

Thanks in advance
John

Hey John - this is something I''ve never really though of doing myself.
This email was a few days ago - have you been experimenting? What have
you come up with?

Cheers,
