Knode sync on different machines

[Timothy Murphy]

What is the best way to keep knode in sync
if one uses various laptops and desktops?
I used to share .kde/share/apps/knode/ under NFS
but have found this unsatisfactory as I become more mobile ...

I thought of that, but decided it was beyond my ability ...
Is there any way of running a script before knode starts
and after it ends?

Try the following to sync from a remote host to your local:

rsync -az remotehost:.kde/share/config/knoderc $HOME/.kde/share/config
  rsync -az remotehost:.kde/share/apps/knode $HOME/.kde/share/apps

Obviously, switch the "remotehost:" part around for local -> remote.
If your keys are added to your ssh-agent on login, it becomes easy
enough to stick into a script an run automatically.
