Still syncing your CDPs manually? Hello syncCDPs.sh!

[loceee]

Hey cadmins,

Here's a script that might make your day. If you are sick of manually syncing your CDPs via Casper Admin I suggest you try this out.

syncCDPs.sh

Run it on your main CDP nightly via launchd (OSX only).
- queries the jss for all CDPs (don't configure this script to add or change CDPs - just do it in the JSS).
- rsyncs locally via a fileshare (slower but more compatible).

Sharing the love..

Hey @loceee][/url

I'm trying to work out how you are grabbing the local path to the repository from the JSS?
I see this line

cdplocalpath[$i]=$(xpath "$cdpdata/${cdpname[$i]}.xml" //distribution_point/local_path 2> /dev/null | sed -e 's/<local_path>//g;s/</local_path>//g')

But on my test JSS v9.31 I'm not seeing a value for this attribute.
My master distribution point is the same server as the JSS (Mac OS X Server 10.9)
The repository lives in /Users/Shared/CasperRepo
Just wondering if there is a way to grab this from the JSS or if I should just make ```
masterlocalpath="/Users/Shared/CasperRepo"
```

BTW awesome script thanks for posting :)

Hey @calumhunter ... I am gonna assume that I have some old data from a previous version (when it used to sync itself).

Updated script and it's been moved to my github repo https://github.com/loceee/OSXCasperScripts.

Glad it's useful!

:) happy days thanks mate

I added -t to the rsync, but you might want to remove that. rsync didn't have luck setting times on some of my shares.

I also might look at changing the excludes... as I might have it sync .htpasswd files as well. I will update the code again soon, just keep an eye on github.
