File distribution via udpcast

Written 9 years ago by Eric Schwimmer

Okay, lets push a bunch of files to remote servers. But let's just do it once to reduce bandwidth contention/consumption. None of this BitTorrent crap. You'll either need a flat network (i.e. a single broadcast domain) or multicast routing set up, and you'll need DSH from the ClusterIt tools package. And udpcast of course :)

#!/bin/bash

fatal() {
    echo FATAL: $1
    shift
    for f in "$@"; do cat $f; done
    cleanup
    exit 1
}

cleanup() {
    exit
    [[ -n $DSH_PID ]] && kill -9 $DSH_PID
    rm -f $CLIENT_OUT_FILE $SERVER_OUT_FILE $TAR_OUT_FILE
}

usage() {
    echo "Usage: sendfile_udpcast <comma-delimited host list> " \
        "<comma-delimited local file list> <remote directory>"
    exit 1
}

    LOCAL_DIR=$1

    udp-receiver --portbase $BASE_PORT --nokbd --start-timeout 15 \
        --receive-timeout 5 | tar x -C $LOCAL_DIR || echo ERROR
    exit 0
}
