syscp

NAME

SYNOPSIS

syscp file ...

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION

If a file is in multiple repositories it can be interactively chosen to which repository the file should be copied.

If a system file does not differ (content or permissions) from the file residing in the repository a WARNING is displayed.

Each file copy has to be acknowledged.

If the system file differs from the repository file and the repository contains "replacement tags" in the format @[-_A-Z]+@ (e.g. @HOSTNAME@ in a hosts file) as used in post_exec and pre_exec scripts, a warning is displayed. Most likely it is not wished to overwrite such a repository file.

If a new file is added to a repository and a part of the path on the system is a symlink that is not already added to the repository, the new path to the file and the file is not added to the repository. This is a safety precaution. If you encounter this situation you most likely want to add the original path to the repository instead of the path thru the symlink.
An example of such a situation is to add /etc/init.d/nginx to the repository, where the init.d directory is on some systems a symlink to rc.d/init.d. In this case you should add /etc/rc.d/init.d/nginx to the repository.
