Today I developed at a project, where I need an extra symlink after each new deployment. I do the deployment with capistrano. Here is my code snippet:

task :symlink_documents do
  run "mkdir -p #{release_path}/non-public/system"
  run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/system/documents #{release_path}/non-public/system/documents"
end

after "deploy:update_code", :symlink_documents

And the symlink will be created after every new deployment.
