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
