NAME
       cmsync  -  Synchronize  files  or  directories on multiple Serviceguard
       nodes.

SYNOPSIS
       cmsync [-rv] [[-n node_name]...]	 [src_node:]src_file [...]

DESCRIPTION
       cmsync copies files and/or directories to multiple Serviceguard nodes.

       cmsync is limited in several ways. cmsync is best suited for situations
       where  other  remote copy facilities are not available. For a more full
       featured tool for copying files between Serviceguard nodes, see ccp(1m)
       provided by Distributed Systems Administration Utilities.

       To  use	this command, the local user must have the root access role on
       each of the involved nodes. For more information on Serviceguard access
       control policies, see the manual, Managing Serviceguard.

       To use the cmsync command without specifying -n options, the local node
       must be configured into a Serviceguard cluster. If no  -n  options  are
       specified, the files will be copied to all available nodes in the clus‐
       ter.

       Paths may be relative to the current  working  directory	 or  specified
       absolutely.  Copies between two remote hosts are permitted.

       If a file or directory already exists on a destination node, the desti‐
       nation node's copy will be overwritten with no prompting.

       The cmsync command is not suited for large files or  large  numbers  of
       files  and  may	result in a heavy load on the command and Serviceguard
       daemons. Other tools such as ccp should be considered  for  these  pur‐
       poses.

   Options And Arguments
	      -r   Recursively copy entire directories.

	      -v   Verbose output will be displayed.

	      -n node_name
		   Serviceguard	 node  to  copy	 file to. If no -n options are
		   specified, default is to copy to all nodes within the  con‐
		   figured cluster.

	      src_node
		   Serviceguard	 node  to  retrieve the file from. Defaults to
		   the local node.

	      src_file
		   Path to source file on src_node.

RETURN VALUE
       cmsync returns the following values:

	       0   Successful completion.
	       1   Command failed.

EXAMPLES
       Copy the local file /etc/hosts to remote nodes node1 and node2

	      cmsync -n node1 -n node2 /etc/hosts

       Distribute the remote file /etc/passwd  to all nodes in the cluster.

	      cmsync node1:/etc/passwd
