FILES
distfile Input command file.
/tmp/rdist* Temporary file for update lists.
HISTORY
rdist appeared in the 4.3 Berkeley Software Distribution.
SEE ALSO
sh(1), csh(1), stat(2)
BUGS
Source files must reside on the local host where rdist is executed.
There is no easy way to have a special command executed after all files in a directory have been updated.
Variable expansion only works for name lists and in the special command string; there should be a
general macro facility.
rdist aborts on files that have a negative mtime (before Jan 1, 1970).
rdist does carry the atime when installing a file but will preserve it on an updated file.
There should be a ‘force’ option to allow replacement of non-empty directories by regular files or symlinks.
