With Casper 7.x we used to be able to schedule an automatic replication to the slave dist points. I really missed that functionality and finally wrote a short and simple script to do a similar task. I'm wondering if there was an issue with this in the past which is why it is missing now... or if it was simply to support other platforms.
This script has proven to work fine... I have then tested a sync from Casper Admin, and nothing is missed or deleted that shouldn't be.
Here's my script... it is scheduled nightly with a LaunchDaemon and takes it's host names from a text list. It uses key authentication so as not to require a login prompt per host. Some of the rsync options are there incase someone wanted to run it manually... they would then see the output.
#!/bin/bash
for server in $(cat /admin/scripts/DistPoints.txt)
do
/usr/bin/rsync -ahv -e ssh --delete --progress --stats /admin/CasperShare/ root@$server:/admin/CasperShare/
done
exit 0
