NAME

csp_helper — A collection of caspar helper scripts

SYNOPSIS

csp_install dir (directory) file (file)

csp_mkdircp dir (directory) file (file)

csp_scp_keep_mode h ([user@]host) dir (directory) file (file)

csp_sucp h ([user@]host) dir (directory) file (file)

DESCRIPTION

The scripts csp_install, csp_mkdircp, csp_scp_keep_mode and csp_sucp are
helpers for caspar(7). These scripts typically are not invoked directly, but
via a Makefile which uses caspar. See the notes on csp_PUSH in caspar(7) for
information on how to link csp_install, csp_scp_keep_mode and csp_sucp to
caspar.

install DESCRIPTION

csp_install creates the required directory (if needed) and installs the file,
preserving timestamps. It uses install(1).

install EXAMPLES

csp_INSTALL_OPTIONS='--owner=www-data --group=www-data' \ csp_INSTALL_MODE=ugo=
r \ csp_install /srv/www index.html
csp_INSTALL_MODE=u=rwx,go= csp_install /usr/local/sbin mkpasswd

install ENVIRONMENT

csp_install honors csp_INSTALL_OPTIONS and csp_INSTALL_MODE (default is u=rw,go
=r).

mkdircp DESCRIPTION

csp_mkdircp calls mkdir(1) and cp(1).

scp_keep_mode DESCRIPTION

csp_scp_keep_mode uses ssh to copy a file to a remote host, keeping its file
permission mode. The trick used is a combination of mktemp(1) and mv(1). Useful
if you'd like to be sure a file gets installed e.g. group writable, without
fiddling with permission bits on the remote host.

scp_keep_mode EXAMPLE

chmod g+w rc csp_scp_keep_mode root@gandalf /etc/uruk rc

scp_keep_mode ENVIRONMENT

csp_scp_keep_mode honors csp_SSH ("ssh" by default).

sucp DESCRIPTION

csp_sucp calls cat(1) from within sudo(1) from within ssh(1). This allows one
to copy files to accounts on hosts one can only reach by calling sudo on the
ssh-reachable remote host.

Typically, one wants to install a root-owned file, but one does not want to
allow access to the root-account directly from ssh. Typically sudo is used as
an extra line of defense.

sucp EXAMPLES

Some examples:
csp_sucp rms@bilbo /etc fstab
csp_sucp monty-python commit/ trailer.txt

sucp BUGS

If NOPASSWD is not set in the sudoers(5) file, and one's timestamp is expired,
csp_sucp will forward the sudo password prompt. The given password will be
echoed on the console!
