Keeping output files on the server

Use the -on option to keep output files on the server.

This option keeps a copy of the output files on the server. To prevent transfer of the specified files to the client, use the -on option. After a successful build, the client creates the files specified after the -on option as empty files.

The build output remains on the server and an empty file is returned to the client. This file provides a record on the client (with a time stamp) that the build was done. This file can be used to prevent unnecessary builds when used in conjunction with a makefile.

Note: This option is actually the -o option with an n parameter. It is referred to her as the -on option for simplicity.
