Very kludgy as the executable has slightly different names on Breezy and
Dapper. On dapper, there is no hyphen unison2.9.2 where as on Breezy it
is unison-2.9.2, so you end up doing:

	unison-2.9.1 -servercmd unison2.9.1 profile

I'm wondering if you can put ther servercmd in the profile, but I've not
tried it yet.

It does a great job of bidirectional sync'ing though, so I put up with
the kludges!

Regards,
Tony.
