this script is probably too naive, but isn't just good enough?

btw, gabriel provides a 9grid.es file to put in /dist/replica

http://9grid.es/index.html?item=3Dsrv

; cat $home/bin/rc/pull
#!/bin/rc

rfork e

# network is sources
mirrors=3D(network 9grid.es kix.in lsub.org)

flags=3D()
while(! ~ $#* 0 && ~ $1 -*){
	if(~ $1 -c -s){
		flags=3D($flags $1)
		shift
	}
	flags=3D($flags $1)
	shift
}
if(test -f /srv/kfs.cmd)
	disk/kfscmd allow

for(i in $mirrors){
	if(replica/pull -v $flags /dist/replica/^$i $*){
		if(test -f /srv/kfs.cmd)
			disk/kfscmd disallow
		exit ''
	}
}

exit mirror
