{:apache => 'apache2', :mysql => 'mysql'}.each do |name, script|
namespace name do
# For each action...
[:stop, :start, :restart, :reload].each do |action|
desc "#{action.to_s.capitalize} #{name.to_s.capitalize}"
task action, :roles => :web do
run "/etc/init.d/#{script} #{action.to_s}"
end
end
end
end
