Question Script to update rsyslog.conf and auditd.conf

Hello all,

Newbie here.

I'm currently tasked with updating rsyslog.conf and auditd.conf on a large set of servers. I know the exact logging configurations that I want to enable. I have updated both files on on a server and hope to use the updated files as a template for the rest of the servers. I reckon that a script which will :
reference the "templates"
copy/replace the existing rsyslog.conf and auditd.conf
restart rsyslog service

will suffice.However, I have not really played around with any form of scripting at least in *NIX. The set of servers are a mix of Redhat, Amazon Linux, Suse, and Ubuntu with Redhat 6 the majority. I figured that I can at least make it work on Redhat and modify as needed for the others.Can you please help me out?

Regards,

Mide.
