Manpages MMSection: Misc. Reference Manual Pages (1L)Updated: 21 April 1993 Index Return to Main Contents NAMEmm - mirror masterSYNOPSISmm [flags] [package-files]DESCRIPTIONmm is the mirror master. It runs multiple calls to mirror in parallel and handles locking and minimal retry times.As with mirror, mm is a package written in Perl. mm presumes that all the package details are stored in a directory called packages. All the packages for a given site must be in a file whose name is the same as that of the site. So in packages/sunsite.org.uk will be all the package details for the host sunsite.org.uk. OPTIONS

You can add whitespace around the equals. Here is a list of the keywords and their values, any defaults are given inside square brackets:
In addition to control statements there are also package details. Each package details statement is of the form:
The site and package fields are matched against those in the packages. A mirror will only be run to this site:package if the last mirror run was more than min hours out. The min-restart-last-ok limit will be used if the last call to mirror was successful. If the mirror call failed then min-restart-last-notok will be used. EXAMPLESHere is a simple mm input file to manage mirroring two packages.
More usually the auxilly program pkgs_to_mmin will be used to automatically convert the contents of the packages directory into the site:package statements.
