I'm writing a perl daemon to do two things: back up important files on multiple boxen so if one gets taken out another will survive, and sync files in users directory from a main server -- i.e. I want to be able to do something like $ ./distribute.pl --file and have it sent to all boxen's ~/distributed/ directory. -Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
