Run the Syncing File action periodically

If the admins want to run the Syncing File action automatically or periodically, the xdcp -F, xdcp -i -F and updatenode -F commands can be used in the script, crontab or FAM directly.

For example:

Use the cron daemon to sync files in the /install/custom/<inst_type>/<distro>/<profile>.<os>.synclist to the nodegroup ‘compute’ every 10 minutes by the xdcp command by adding this to crontab. :

*/10 * * * * root /opt/xcat/bin/xdcp compute -F /install/custom/<inst_type>/<distro>/<profile>.<distro>.synclist

Use the cron daemon to sync files for the nodegroup ‘compute’ every 10 minutes by updatenode command.

*/10 * * * * root /opt/xcat/bin/updatenode compute -F
