title: Is there a way to use capistrano (or similar) to remotely interact with rails console
body: <p>I'm loving how capistrano has simplified my deployment workflow, but often times a pushed change will run into issues that I need to log into the server to troubleshoot via the console.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to use capistrano or another remote administration tool to interact with the rails console on a server from your local terminal?</p>
  
  <p>**Update:</p>
  
  <p>cap shell seems promising, but it hangs when you try to start the console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cap&gt; cd /path/to/application/current
  cap&gt; pwd
   ** [out :: application.com] /path/to/application/current
  cap&gt; rails c production
   ** [out :: application.com] Loading production environment (Rails 3.0.0)
   ** [out :: application.com] Switch to inspect mode.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>if you know a workaround for this, that'd be great</p>
