It's to install
what scp
is to cp
!
The sinstall
program installs local files on remote hosts. It was created to
stop my constant code golfing when trying to do this in scripts or Makefiles
(and then wondering 6 months later what on earth I was doing).
The install
tool is an extremely handy way to install files locally:
sudo install -m 600 -o postgres -g postgres \
./postgresql_tuned.conf /var/lib/postgres/data/postgresql.conf
Pretty concise, eh? Now try the same thing, but to a remote host over SSH!
With sinstall
, it can be just as simple:
sinstall --sudo -m 600 -o postgres -g postgres \
./postgresql_tuned.conf me@mydbhost:/var/lib/postgres/data/postgresql.conf
For a more serious (and detailed) description, see the online man page.
