Greetings,

I primarily use rsync to update remote hosts when source files are edited.
This means from one host, I upload to many rsync daemons listening on those
remote hosts.   This is much easier for me than running a daemon on the
source and executing pulls on all the remote hosts.  

My problem is that I often want to execute post-distribution scripts on the
endpoints (daemons) such as 'bounce_the_server'.  This is similar to
Interwoven's OpenDeploy feature "deploy_and_run".   It seems trivial to do
this when running rsync over rsh or ssh since we already have .rhosts trust
to run rsync itself and thus can run other rsh commands.  But when running
in client-server mode there would need to be a
'--execute=/path/to/script.sh' Option to do this.

Has anybody thought about or working on this type of functionality?

Regards,

Henry Wrieth
