Want to tail a production log with Capistrano?
If you type Ctrl C, you get a load of warnings in your console. Here’s how to fix that:
desc “tail production log files”
task :tail_logs, :roles => :app do
trap(“INT”) { puts ‘Interupted’; exit 0; }
run “tail -f #{shared_path}/log/production.log” do |channel, stream, data|
puts # for an extra line break before the host name
puts “#{channel[:host]}: #{data}”
break if stream == :err
end
end
