I recently recieved an odd request...
I need to find a way to mass-upgrade about 30 machines on a LAN that all
run RedHat 7.0 or 7.1, but may have different hardware.
I know this can be scripted through rsh/ssh and up2date with a root/sudo
login... but... my client also needs to be able to update programs
installed from source this way. And it needs to be as automated as
possible.
I found SystemImage on SourceForge, but that a) requires almost
identical hardware, and b) makes all the systems mirror images of
eachother from what I've seen of the docs. The problem is that the
users keep personal files on their workstations. (Work-related files
(Home directories) are on a NFS mounted filer.)
Does anyone here know of any software that will allow selected updates
or should I start scripting my own system to mirror the important
directory trees?
Thanks,
Brian
