Sure: update the file on the AIX machine using
smbclient or smbsh. This uses the smb protocol,
and triggers the oplock-break mechanism which
forces the cleints to get a fresh copy.
You could put something like this in
a Makefile:
install:
smbclient //scot/davecb -Udavecb%passwd -c \
"prompt; put ${EXECUTABLE}"
If you don't like putting passwords in files,
you can leave off -U and be prompted for it.
