Bottom posted just for you. ;)

Ok, now what do I need to put in the config?  Do I even need one?  I think I do as sometimes my laptop will need to be backed up remotely, and thus, I will need to change the ip/hostname in the settings.  If someone knows a way around this, then I can actually finish this project.

I'm running gentoo on all computers, though I will be adding this to windows soon enough.

I have  multiple computers in the same bank, though I am considering changing that, and multiple vaults per computer.

So this should be all I need to do then?

COMPUTERNAME=(triggering computer)

for VAULTNAME in `ls -1 $COMPUTERNAME-*` ; do
	dirvish-expire --vault $VAULTNAME
	dirvish  --vault $VAULTNAME
done
