EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

    on_rollback {
        rmdir "...";
    };
    deploy "myapp.tar.gz";
};
  
task "restart_server", group => "frontend", sub {
    run "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart";
};
  
task "all", group => "frontend", sub {
    transaction {
        do_task [qw/deploy restart_server/];
    };
};

This code will be executed if one step in the transaction fails.
