I am trying to specify differ

Answer 1

For everyone else ever with this question, here is my solution:

The key was finding env.host_string.

This is how I restart different types of servers with one command:

env.roledefs = {
    'apache': ['xxx.xxx.com'],
    'APE': ['yyy.xxx.com']
}

def apache():
    env.roles = ['apache']

...

def restart():
    if env.host_string in env.roledefs['apache']:
        sudo("apache2ctl graceful", pty=True)
    elif env.host_string in env.roledefs['APE']:
        sudo ("supervisorctl reload", pty=True)

enjoy!
