synctool
synctool is a cluster administration tool that keeps configuration files synchronized across all nodes in a cluster. Nodes may be part of a logical group or class, in which case they need a particular subset of configuration files. synctool can restart daemons when needed, if their relevant configuration files have been changed. synctool can also be used to do patch management or other system administrative tasks.

Release Notes: Many new things were added in this major release. synctool now features node range syntax, which can be used on the command-line as well as in the config file to easily select or define ranges of nodes. Templates are new; they allow you to generate config files on the fly from a stanza file and some variables. synctool can now easily manage multiple clusters using one admin node, and it's also better at handling multiple operating systems. The new purge feature is ideal for making perfect mirrors of directory trees.

Release Notes: This release fixed a number of small issues and notably two larger ones: the PATH environment variable is now searched for the configured commands. This helps on multi-platform setups. The --erased-saved option now is an action by itself. Using --erased-saved will no longer trigger other updates to occur inadvertently.
