Even easier, set up an ASP (or script of your choice) web page that will
SHELL or equivalent to do the update that you can call from Linux with WGET,
then you don't need to mess with the MAPI client and you are working in an
area you are already comfortable with.  I've been doing stuff like that for
a long time now--triggering "unrelated" processes based on web page
interaction.

Good luck,

Put a cvs client on the webserver (just the command line will do plus any
protocol DLLs you're using) then have a script that does the update.  You
should be able to arrange it so that the linux server is able to fire the
script on the windows server - we do something similar using email
notifications..  the windows server (in our case a test box) has a MAPI
client
app that waits for an email to arrive then automatically runs an update.

OTOH you might get away with it if you're not modifying the checked out
websites...  you can just have the linux server checkout the websites on
postcommit (using a samba share to the windows box).
