[Fab-user] Hosts, and their usage.

[Phil Harris]

First post to this list, so please be nice :)

OK, here's a highly simplified version of what I'm trying to achieve:

I have a set of tasks something like this:

@roles('target1')
def ls():
        run('ls /tmp')
        ls2()

@roles('target2')
def ls2():
        run('ls /tmp')

This runs correctly (as in there are no errors), but I would like the
ls2 command to run on target2, at the moment it runs on target1 when
called from target1.  The actual command I've got is a bit more
complex and the constituent parts are logically grouped.

Basically I'm writing a script to transfer one IBM WebSphere Portal to
another (we call this staging).  One of the tasks is to deploy themes
to the target, which consists of a Deployment Manager (dm), and 2 app
servers (clustered, target1 and target2).  Parts of the theme have to
go onto the dm machine and other parts have to go onto both target1 &
target2.

Any ideas how I would get the simplified commands to run on the
machines I need them running on?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance.
