OT: "Inventory Control" for non-VMS

Apologies for the OT post. I know some of my fellow VMSers here are also
AIX knowledgeable.

I'm looking for any tools that anyone is aware of which will allow me to
keep files synchronized across multiple AIX instances (LPARs). We lose
the shared disk paradigm of OpenVMS clusters. Hence, scripts, etc. must
be copied to each individual instance's private storage.

Any tips that anyone might have would be most helpful.

I asked this question on the Cerner listserv and got no responses.

Some plumbing with NFS, MAKE, and CRON will do the trick, won't it ?

Most folks use rsynch. I'm sure there are others.

Depends. The source might be any one of 16 or more PCs in the
developer's areas.
