You could use a script which runs 'b config sync' from the active unit to the standby and call that from cron. There are a few examples of this in previous posts, if you search this forum further.

 

 

However, what is the use case for this? Why do you want to automate the config sync? I think Denny brought up two valid concerns about doing this in the post you referenced:

 

 

 

The reason I don't like doing this is twofold:

 

 

1) You expose yourself to a configsync kicking off right in the middle of someone making changes. Probably wouldn't be catastrophic, but there is potential for config corruption.

 

 

2) You could, depending on the frequency of the automated configsync, lose the ability to roll back any changes you made that end up being incorrect for some reason.
