[cvsnt] Scripting

[Bo Berglund]

You should probably use the postcommit script file insetad because it is triggered when everything is ready and there are no dangling tasks remaining.
The exact syntax is probably available on the cvsnt.org website, but should be similar to the other scripts:
<regular expression> <command to execute> <command line parameters>
where:
<regular expression> is a string telling CVSNT which selection to trigger for.
<command to execute> is a normal Windows command to run (executable only) and must *not* contain spaces
<command line parameters> are a space delimited list (that is why spaces are not allaowed above) of command parameters

Example:
ALL D:\Programs\CVSNT\mybatchfile.bat thisparameter thatparameter
will execute the mybatchfile.bat with the two given parameters for every commit that is done (ALL).

Greetings to everyone on the list - I'm new here.

I recently started digging into the world of CVS, and it's all still pretty overwhelming.
I run the CVSNT server on a Windows 2000 server.
As soon as I commit a file to a repository, I would like a dummy-copy of this new version to be copied to a certain directory, and then run a batch-file against this dummy-file.
I know that I should probably do some scripting in the loginfo -file.
What exactly is the format of this file? I see lots of Perl examples. Can I run a Windows batch-file from there? (IOW something like copy c:\blah.foo d:\blah.foo)??

Thanks,

Ernst Kuschke
