= Screwcap

* http://gammons.github.com/screwcap

== DESCRIPTION:

Screwcap is a library that wraps Net::SSH and makes it easy to perform actions on remote servers.

== FEATURES:

* Dead-simple DSL for remote task management.
* Screwcap is not opinionated.  In fact, the only opinion screwcap has is that rails deployment tasks should not be baked into the screwcap core.
* Screwcap is very light on magic and unicorns.  Screwcap recipes are basically only a collection of servers and tasks.  It does not know how to do things unless you tell it how to do things.
* Screwcap is not tied into rake, although it easily can be.
* Screwcap can *easily* be used to deploy rails applications.  

For more info, see the main screwcap page at http://gammons.github.com/screwcap

== INSTALL:

* gem install screwcap

* Add ability to parse user input
