I have about 20 systems that are either behind firewalls that I don't control or hardened so that my only access to them is via SSH.
I am using OpenSSH installed with the Cygwin setup.exe program and configured with the included scripts. I also tunnel VNC through SSH to get a remote desktop when necessary. My problem is: how do I keep these systems updated since my only access is through the components I need to update? I am also trying to find a way to avoid manually connecting to each system to run setup.exe and then rebooting it so in-use files can be updated. Does anyone have any methods they use to handle this? The 20 systems should all be mostly identical. So my first thought was to create a representative build in a test lab, keep it updated, and then batch an rsync over SSH of the files to the 20 systems identically up-to-date. How can I handle in-use files if I am not using setup.exe? I would love to hear any suggestions that anyone has. -Jason -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
