1) Preserve the timestamp of an updated file even if a command that is executed because of the update modifies the file. This allows you to do things like export /etc/hosts and when it changes, customize it based on the target host with a simple script, but not upgrade it every time sup is run. 2) Add the "unlinkbusy" SUP option. The goal of this option is to allow you to upgrade binaries and libraries on a running system via sup automagically just like "install" does. 3) Add the "rename" collection function. This allows you to store a file on the server under one name, but have it land on the client under another. All of these changes are targeted toward making SUP a better administrative tool. A reverse rdist if you like. TCS uses sup to keep over 100 HP workstations in sync with a master machine and performs all maintainence including new software installations and system patches using it without a hitch. Of course, the SUP collections are fairly complicated (HUP inetd when inetd.conf changes is a very simple example), but it definitely works and works well. This patch also includes full support for the HPUX platform. I didn't see any reason to strip it out since HPUX was the target platform of the original work and it may be of use to other people. |
