- I'm using GNU cp and cronning tasks to copy between lans...It needs an option to convert UID/GIDs..
-
- I'm using the update option, verbose (into a mailnote, so I can tell what was copied). the -a option
- copies trees with the right bits -- as root it can changed ownership...
-
- For example, my copy-gnu script is:
-
- #! /bin/csh
- /usr/gnu/bin/cp -a -v -x -u /net/annapurna/files5/gnu/{bin,lib,man,info,emacs}
- /usr/gnu | mail leisner
-
- I like the way this is working...
