Hello,
I'm trying to set up rdist here to update binaries and other files to
our machines from one main host.
I'm stuck on one particular part: the -R option doesn't seem to work.
This is the distfile:
FILES=( ...files... )
HOSTS=( ...hosts... )
${FILES} -> ${HOSTS}
install -R ;
I am running with the command:
rdist -P /usr/bin/ssh -f distfile
It updates all files out of date, but files on the remote host which
aren't on the local host don't get deleted (the -R option is supposed to
do this).
running with:
rdist -R -P /usr/bin/ssh -f distfile
also doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
- Jamie
