How to add paths to Capistrano's sudo command (useful for ruby enterprise edition installs)

Enable User Environments

Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add the following to the bottom of the file:

PermitUserEnvironment yes

Then reboot sshd by running:

/etc/init.d/ssh reload

Configuring the PATH

Create (if it doesn't already exist) and open .ssh/environment, and put something like this inside (edit the ree path if you have one).

PATH=/opt/ree-latest/bin:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11

Now any capistrano sudo commands will use ree instead of the default ruby on the system.
