While it was targeted at OS X originally we have used it on FreeBSD , centos , then, fedora , and Solaris . Also we use ansibel . Ansibel is a agent less config and system management toll written in Python . It only requires Python 24 and ssh on the target hosts . It's flexible and relatively easy compared to some other tools . It's also well supported on rhel/ centos and FreeBSD . http://www.ansible.com/home Lastly you can always use entr and rsync https://bitbucket.org/eradman/entr it's in ports too --- Mark saad | mark.saad@longcount.org > -- > Marko Cupać > https://www.mimar.rs > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
