Auto-update macros from local server?

[ijmatrix]

Hi all,

I am writing some simple plugins and macros (which I am putting together in one toolset file) for my company, and I'd like to be able to distribute my updates automatically without having to ask everyone to update the files on their computer every time.

Is is possible to write a script (or even a plugin) that will look in a specific folder on the local server and copy the modified toolset file automatically? I am sure this will be a wonderful tool to have for most people writing plugins for their labs or companies. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

You could use versionning tools such as bazaar (http://bazaar-vcs.org)
or svn (http://subversion.tigris.org/) and setup a repository. Then it's
just a matter or updating the folder. It's easy to automate the update
in Linux, there is probably an easy way to do it in Windows or mac also.

Synching folders is the sort of job Microsoft's Synchtoy does for Windows
platforms. There are synching utilities for the Mac. I don't know what's
available for Linux.
