A huge help, got the script to work now with no intervention... Another small issue if I may. I want to run this rsync script every 5 minutes or so but I only want it to run on the master server... It is a mysql instance, so it will be either master or slave. How would I get this information in a sh script?
I could query the /etc/aws/hosts/<role>-master and check it against the servers ip (dont know how to get the servers ip :( ) and then point the rsync script to each in the /etc/aws/hosts/<role>-slave dir.
