1, 2, 3 : rsync can do this<div>4: I see your difficulty with rsync... However an SVN, CVS or GIT repository will require by its nature a central structure of storage.</div><div>5: I'm not sure about this one personally.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I used to make configuration files available on a network shared drive. Computers booted using their local configuration, part of the boot process (early on) included a script to pull in updates over the network (when available). If it is application configurations then this sort of solution might be easier.</div>

I'm sure that something similar must exist on *nix platforms. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 3 February 2011 19:39, Peter Childs <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pchilds@bcs.org">pchilds@bcs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

2. File must be local so it can be accessed even before the network is working or while part of the network is broken, or while a use is away from the network.<br>
3. Files must be synced as soon as possible, or when we get back to the office. <br>4. There is no master so you can't just copy the master once its been updated. (so I can't just scp or rsync them in crontab)<br>
5. Tell any programs reading the files that they have been updated, (Like Logrotate does)<br><br>I'm sure there should be a simple way of doing this, but I'm not even sure of the right words to use on Google.....<br>
