[WBEL-users] WhiteBox in a cluster? How?

[Thrift Internet Service]

I have a fail-over server that I update with rsync, and it was pretty simple
to configure. I just have cron update the files & directories that need
updated.

I even do it for the mysql directory, but mysql has to be restarted for the
new data to take effect. I have cron restart mysql right after the rsync.

I'm sure there is a better way, but it works for me.
