We have the master copy of our tools disk in SFS on one system. Each system has a local copy on minidisk. A job on each system accesses the master and applies updates to the local copy every night. If the SFS master isn't available, no harm is done to the copies.

I fondly remember TOOLSRUN from my IBM days... We're looking for a similar function - a tools repository mirrored between many VMs, some distant. But we aren't licensed for RSCS, and that cost becomes prohibitive for this customer... So short of writing our FTP based tool, does anyone have any thoughts on any easy way to keep a set of local tools in sync across multiple systems?
