How to create local tasks

[Chris Williams]

Is there an easy way to create a capistrano task that only runs on my
local machine?
For example, I want to write a capistrano task that first generates
an xml sitemap on my local machine, then uploads this sitemap
to each of my webservers. I know how to do the upload part, but I'm
not sure how to write a task in capistrano that only runs locally.

Thanks,
Chris

I'm also interested doing local filesystem manipulation, any ideas?

Since a capfile is just a ruby script, you can use any of your usual
Ruby methods for executing processes, e.g. system() or backticks
(`blah`).

Yea, that would be too obvious for me to consider... thanks :)
