.SH DESCRIPTION

Fabric is designed to upload files and run shell commands on a number of
servers in parallel or serially. These commands are grouped in tasks
(which are regular Python functions) and specified in a 'fabfile.' It is
similar to Capistrano, except it's implemented in Python and doesn't expect
you to be deploying Rails applications.
