<p>I already have a deploy.rb that can deploy my app on my production server. </p>

<p>My app contains a custom rake task (a .rake file in the lib/tasks directory). </p>

<p>I'd like to create a cap task that will remotely run that rake task.</p>

```
```
run("cd #{deploy_to}/current && /usr/bin/env rake `<task_name>` RAILS_ENV=production")
```
```
Found it with Google --
http://ananelson.com/said/on/2007/12/30/remote-rake-tasks-with-capistrano/
The
```
RAILS_ENV=production
```
was a gotcha -- I didn't think of it at first and couldn't figure out why the task wasn't doing anything.
