RE: [hobbit] Alert on files out of sync?

Yea I would do that but having to script and rsync with a httpd reload is asking for trouble.  I don't want the rsync to somehow fail one day (or even the conf having an error) and then it goes ahead and HUPs the apache on the second server, which then fails along with the first.

A quick thought.... use rsync to eliminate the human from having to 
remember about the second web server.

Due to safety reasons we don't automate our web server config files, but rather use change control to keep them managed.  I want to be able to see if someone modifies one config file on one server, but forgets to do it on the second one.   I guess I could write a backend script to do it, but thought maybe there was a way to leverage the FILE monitor in hobbit-clients.cfg.
