[op5-users] Merlin documentation

[Russell Jennings]

what's a good way to do this? that is, have the configs be the same on  
the poller and the NOC? rsyncing the files? that sounds like what i  
was doing wrong... I will be trying later.

was just thinking about rsync'ing the commands, the command  
definitions, and then having each hostgroup be in it's own file (or  
folder) and just rsync that to the desired poller.



thanks,
Russell
