rinstall is shipped to remote machines by
rset(1) to provide a
standard method of installing files made available over HTTP, or from the
current working directory if it already exists.
If the target does not exist it is created.
If the target exists but is not the same,
diff(1) is called to
display the difference before the target is updated.
The arguments are as follows:
-o- Owner and/or group to set. This argument is passed to
chown(8).
-m- Mode to set when a file is updated. This argument is passed to
chmod(1).
The source argument is a relative path that is appended to
the environment variable INSTALL_URL.
The rinstall utility exits with one of the following
values:
0- Target file was installed or updated
1- No changes were made
2- Incorrect parameters
3- Unable to fetch requested file
