6.3 possyncimages.pl

The script possyncimages.pl must be run on a branch server for fetching or
updating the images from the administration server. It uses rsync and requires
that the rsync service is properly configured and running on the administra-
tion server. The script possyncimages.pl can be run manually, but the best
practice is to create a cron job that runs it every night to keep the images
up-to-date.

possyncimages.pl reads the configuration file /etc/opt/SLES/POS/branchserver.
conf and uses the definitions POS_REMOTE_SYNC_COMMANDS and POS_LOCAL_
SYNC_COMMANDS from that file. POS_REMOTE_SYNC_COMMANDS contains a list of
rsync commands that fetch the data from the administration server. These
commands are executed first. On success, the commands in the directory
POS_LOCAL_SYNC_COMMANDS are executed to update the final destination of the
images.
