Ever wanted to distribute configuration files such as U_ANTE_UPROC or U_POST_UPROC centrally with DU5 without having to log onto each remote node?

Description:

This script is an experimental attempt to bring the possibility for $U 5.x to distribute configuration files to remote nodes (such as uxsetenv, U_POST_UPROC, etc..).
It relies on the native Uproc Distribution Mechanism to distribute config files to remote nodes through the following steps:

create a local Uproc which script is replaced by a copy of the local config file to transfer
export the local uproc and import it to the remote node (using an extraction)
create a local customized tech uproc containing a specific code (which, when executed, copies the internal script of the Uproc containing the config file to a specific location)
export the local tech uproc and import it to the remote node (using an extraction)
execute the tech uproc on the remote node (so as to place the configuration file where it is supposed to be)
monitor the execution
delete tech & content uprocs/clean executions

Target environments: Linux, Unix

Prerequisites: DU5, will not work (and is unecessary) with DU6

Implementation: simply execute the script
