</div></div>Has anyone syggested using rsync instead of a Perl script?<br>
That is designed just for things like this and works well<br>
and might be more secure than the Perl script.<br>
<br>
Or you could put use rsync in your Perl script.<br>
<br>
You will need to create a little binary to invoke the Perl script.<br>
Then create an rd.d type script that takes a 'start' and 'stop'<br>
put it in and run it with a 'start' parameter. Give the startup<br>
script a 'stop' when you want to quite.<br>
<br>
Look at the stuff in init.d, etc such as apachectl for hints.<br>
You probably don't need anything as elaborate as that for<br>
the start/stop script, but it is a good example.<br>
