Can I synchronise mutliple external files across a hot standby setup using wildcards

Hot standby Gateways can be configured with a set of external files to keep synchronised. This is achieved by adding a list of files in the External files section of the Hot standby advanced tab. (e.g. as below)

As of writing, it is not possible to use wildcards such as ‘/scripts/’, ‘/scripts/*’ to synchronise complete directories in this External files section.

At present n external process would have to be used to synchronise multiple files.

e.g. This could use a common Unix utility such as rsync, scheduled as a cron job or perhaps as a Scheduled Command in the Gateway Setup Editor.
