- It may seem a silly suggestion, but why don't you just write a sh
- program that will copy all the revelant files into tmp, do a tar, and
- then uucp the tar file...
-
- eg: copy /usr/file/abc /tmp
- copy /usr/file/def /tmp
- copy /usr/file/ghi /tmp
- sleep 10
- cd /tmp
- tar -cfv sendfile.tar *
- uucp /tmp/sendfile.tar receivesite\!~/sendfile.tar
-
- and the receiving site could do a reverse of the shell script
- It's not elegant, or fancy, it just uses the basics, and it could all be
- done as a cron job.
- That's cron ... not con :-)
