Re: [staf-users] Distributing STAF.cfg

There are no restrictions to copying STAF.cfg.  Just know that changing 
STAF.cfg while STAFProc is running will not change the configuration that 
STAF uses until  you shutdown and restart STAFProc. 

There are different ways that people update your STAF.cfg files.  Some 
people keep a master copy of the STAF.cfg file(s) they use and copy it to 
all their machines.  You may want to look at using the STAF LifeCycle 
service to help do this.  It can be used to submit one or more STAF 
service requests when STAFProc starts up or when STAFProc is shutdown.

What is it that you are changing in every STAF.cfg file?  Trust 
statements?  If so, you may be able to take advantage of the wildcard 
character (*) in your host names and/or IP addresses in your trust 
statements to ease the number of changes (or you could just set the 
default trust level to 5 so that you don't have to get individual trust to 
your machines).  Note too that you can dynamically change trust via the 
TRUST service.

[staf-users] Distributing STAF.cfg






Hi,

Well, STAF is starting to proliferate across my network.  I have more and 
more machines that use it.  This is a Good Thing(tm). 

But, I'm getting tired of manually changing every STAF.cfg file.  How do 
people normally deal with this?  Do they simply do a massive "file copy" 
to populate every machine? Are there any restrictions to copying STAF.cfg?
