I have periodic issues where new versions of custom plugins are not automatically flowing out to the slave servers.
I remember I was pleasantly surprised in the past to see changes to plugins magically seemed to make it out to the slave servers although I wasn’t quite sure how the magic worked.

I have a custom modules folder within the standard libexec folder and I have a script that softlinks the base plugin with the newest custom version of that script.
When and how do changes to the libexec area get propagated out to the slave servers?

I would appreciate it if anyone has any insight to how the magic works :<)..

A magician never reveals his tricks ;-)

opsviewd watches the libexec directory for changes every 5 minutes (the directory itself, not the files within it) and if it seems a change then it runs a 'send2slaves -p' - if you have your files in a directory under libexec then i would guess libexec itself isn't updated, so then the send2slaves isnt kicked off. Just touch a file within libexec and the process should kick off.
