- Maybe I'm missing something but isn't this what rdist
- was created for?. Using it in a script something like
-
- # LIST contains the machine names to rdist to.
- # Each machine can have it's own rdist file in case
- # the distribution variables are different.
- LIST=`cat filename`
- for entry in $LIST
- do
- build=Rdist/${entry}.rdist
- $rdist $build
- done
