Cross server configuration script
#!/bin/bash
# You can synchronize the configuration of multiple servers using git and this very small script.
# Just add your servers in a file called "serverlist.txt" (one per line) and
# configure git on the $REMOTE_DIRECTORY_CONFIG. Personnaly, I use the root of the server (/)
# You can also use git hook post-update to run a command after the update
# of the config files if you wish.
