Try using an ENV variable other than 'hosts' like 'myhosts' I think cap may use the hosts ENV variable under the hood. Name the ruby variable myhosts as well just for good measure.
Now the call to ls -xt. Is in a capture it only runs against one host by design. If it finds stuff to delete then it will do the deletes across the servers. What is your keep_releases value? Why is the path it's checking literally /path/to/releases? Are you obfuscating the path in your paste? Or is that really the output? If that's really the output and your deploy_to isn't /path/to you have some sorting out to do in your recipes. Don't even look at the following link until you can run the canned deploy:cleanup. I've used this method in the past that was useful when the release directories were out of sync, the downside is it's slow and the more hosts you have the slower it is. I ended up removing it once my directories were back in sync. http://blog.perplexedlabs.com/2010/09/08/improved-deploycleanup-for-capistrano/ On Aug 17, 2013, at 5:24 PM, "C.
