I would like to be able to push updates of files to remote servers running Ubuntu.
I'm not sure how to go about explaining this but hopefully this example will help:
Is there any software that would be able to do this or would it be possible to do this with a bash script?
I would also need to be able to execute shell commands before and after the file updates as I am using it as a kind of instant messaging server which will need to be stopped and started.
I hope this is clear enough, I honestly have no idea how to explain this.
Thank you for reading.

You may try using "puppet" to automate deployment and configuration from the central server: http://puppetlabs.com/

Rsync http://rsync.samba.org/ may help you to synchronize your files and inotify https://github.com/rvoicilas/inotify-tools/wiki could also be used to watch file changes.
