In Fabric 0.0.9, you can have a call to restartSetup() as the first
thing in your restart command.


In the current master will allow you to do something like this:

def setup():
    if config.env == "test": config.fab_hosts = ["testy"]
    elif config.env == "prod": config.fab_hosts = ["proddy"]

@depends(setup)
def restart():
   print config.fab_hosts
