Notifying users of updates

The notify command is useful for notifying users of changes to the system. You can use rdist to tell them exactly what has changed and when. The mail message sent by rdist looks like:

   From: rdist@grande (Remote distribution program)
   To: julia@yukon
   Subject:  files updated by rdist from grande to yukon
   

   updating:  /export/root/yukon/etc/motd
   updating:  /export/root/yukon/etc/passwd
