- I'm looking for a good way to put binary versions on a known good machine, and then distribute what was updated
- or is new via cron??
-
- I supposed the best way is to do a make install on packages on the primary servers, where the mount point is a link
- file system (so I'm guaranteed to get this file system). [I'm using amd, I have no idea how to do this in automounter]
-
- Then some type of cron script to copy what is new/changed to the other redundant machines...
-
- I did a little playing with rdist, and couldn't get it to work (gave me some wierd error message, the man page says:
- something to the effect "If you get this message, you must be doing something wrong".
-
- I also have coda, but I didn't spend enough time to figure out how to use it...
-
- Any suggestions would be appreciated.
