Question: Why even copy the file (unless it has information in it that pertains to the updates to be acted on)? Why not just create the file every 5 minutes via cron on the secondary server using "touch"?

So, in effect, ispconfig would "flush" its cache (i.e., perform any pending updates) every 5 minutes on the secondary ... no matter what.

Why? Because I am not convinced that even doing an rsync every 5 minutes is going to "catch" the the /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/.run semaphore file -- i.e., it might be created/acted upon/deleted within a 5 minute cycle and rsync might never get to copy it from the primary.

Thoughts? (Sorry for all the questions, but I want to do to make sure I understand + use the most expedient method possible + keep additional "traffic" to a minimum)

Thanks

Yes, it gets erased after the actions are performed.
