jlsync allows files and directories to be syncronised from a central repository to many client hosts. jlsync is ideal for server provisioning and also for ongoing configuration managment. Files can be grouped into file templates that servers are “subscribed” to. jlsync dynamically creates local images of remote servers before pushing or pulling files using rsync.
jlsync can be used to help manage your network of heterogeneous UNIX systems, UNIX clusters, grids, and Solaris zones.
