WARNINGS
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.
AUTHOR
