we use rsync over ssh to push stuff like this. You need a passphraseless key or ssh-agent to handle the authentication but once done it works like a dream. the cron job can then just do the rmp -Fvh stuff. one of the advantages is that you can change the server easily since the server drives the process. and of course no clear test passwords :) hear is a version of the command line we use in a script that scrolls through a list of machinenames ($remotebox): rsync -rzvLtc --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh list of directories $remotebox:/rpmdir 2>&1 This spits out quite a bit of stuff into a logfile to which the output of the script is is redirected to. Checkout the rsync man page for the options that meet your needs.
