Managing multiple servers from a single point I want to make a change to the adm crontab, then I want to document on all servers this change has been made, so I want to update /ChangeLog. I can't push a new /ChangeLog to the servers, the servers have different changes and so different /ChangeLog files. I would like a script that can be called with the changes. The script would search up the tree from it's starting directory and update the first ChangeLog found. If there are no changes yet for that day insert the date. If there are already changes append the message without inserting the date. I can think of a few more switches, but that's a start. Anyone have one of these? Is there a better approach to tracking these kinds of things? I expect to also make the script available to a few development groups within my organization.
