I'm trying to remember what commands are available for comparing and
updating directories on multiple machines. I'm thinking rcomp or
xcomp and something like xcopy but can't find anything. Sux getting
old....

thx

I use rsync to sync directories or partitions.

Yep, I find it handy to use "apropos" or "man -k" and grep to find
some commands. Example apropos compare | grep dir

In other cases I put command examples in a unix file where I can grep
for key word(s). Example script (uh) used to search my unix.help:

$ uh rsync
copy current partition to another rsync -aAvx ./ /new
copy one partition to another rsync -aAvx /old/ /new # if do not want /dest/src
copy one partition to another rsync -aAvx /src /dest # if want /dest/src
