Thanks for all the ideas. It's given me avenues for testing.

Aye, not subject to bash's many security problems, such as #ShellShock &

I have 20 years experience with bash, so I default to it.
Cool Christopher. The smart men on @tech keep ksh slick, so for
scripters there's not much difference. Have a go.
If I was going to craft something today to solve this problem,
I think I would probably use rsync over shh though, and not scp.
Like ksh, rdist is in base, (unlike either bash or rsync),
and uses ssh by default.
A root cronjob like this might be all that is needed:
@hourly rdist -f /root/rdist.yp
Then it's off to a castle for more flinging of fit Scottish lassies:
