132 Appendix A. Command Line Config Management Tools
In addition to the required channel label and path to the file, you may use the available options for
modifying the file during its addition. For instance, you may alter the path and filename by including
the --dest-file option in the command, like:
rhncfg-manager add
--channel=channel-label
--dest-file=/new/path/to/file.txt
/path/to/file
You should see output resembling:
Pushing to channel blah
Local file >/path/to/file -> remote file /new/path/to/file.txt

A.2.3. Differentiating between Latest Config Files
To obtain a difference between the config files on disk and the latest revisions in a channel, issue the
command:

/local/path/to/file
You should see output resembling:
/tmp/dest_path/foo.txt /home/test/blahhello_world.txt
--- /tmp/dest_path/foo.txt config_channel: blah revision: 1
