[Casper] Distribution Point - Update Now

[Thomas Larkin]

I have mine set to sync every day at 1AM.  I do manual syncs after adding a package or a script.  I have 5 xserves and about 10 mac minis acting as distribution points, and WAN traffic can be slow at times.

I wish there was a way to do asynchronous synchronizing so you could pick and choose what distribution point got what packages, because our older PPC based images and packages only need to run off of like 2 of the distribution points out there.  **COUGH** Feature Request! **COUGH**

The rest of them need the newer intel based images and packages.

When I set a schedule to sync a remote Distribution Point, even for hours
later in the day, it starts syncing automatically.  Don't know if it is
supposed to but that is what I've seen.  I use Casper Admin to sync on
demand though.

In Casper Admin you can right-click on the distribution point and select
'sync' to instantly sync that distribution point.  I look at the schedule
as more of just a way to make sure everything is the same at 4 in the
morning.

      I determined I can set a schedule for the next available 15 minutes,
      but that kind of seems like a hinky way to do it - I was hoping there
      was a button I could push somewhere.

      If the only way to do it is to change the schedule to the next
      closets 15 minutes, does that over-write the previous schedule?

      I assume it doesn't create two schedules?
