[cvsnt] Can't get loginfo to automatic execute commands

[Bo Berglund]

Try to separate the stuff you are doing, because in the loginfo file only
one line gets executed: The one where the regular expression matches the module.

You should try to put your checkout commands in the postcommit file instead.
This will trigger when everything is done for the commit and it has its own
processing. So you can have a new filter here.

I think that postcommit was introduced recently so you should not try this
on an older version of CVSNT.

Subject: [cvsnt] Can't get loginfo to automatic execute commands


I have cvsmailer running perfectly. That means, i am a little familiarized 
with the loginfo file.

Bu i have a few questions about loginfo:
1 - Can i execute any commands from it?
2 - Because i'm under cvsnt, the command to be executed is "cvs" or 
"cvs95"?
3 - can i make it update files on a remote machine to which it has 
permission to read/write?

Another thing, in order to try a few commands on loginfo, i placed the 
following line to the end of the file:
"[Pp][Rr][Oo][Jj][Ee][Tt][Oo] (date; cat;(sleep 2;cd e:/Publico/cesar; 
cvs95 -q update -d) &) then cd e:/Publico/cesar & cvs95 co Projeto "
Explaining what i was trying to do, i have a module called "Projeto". For 
the cvsmailer, Bo told me to spell the name of the module the way i did to 
avoid case problems(it works for cvsmailer). So, i expect that date and cat 
do something somewhere, i just copied that line from the documentation. 
After that, i expect a little timeout of 2 seconds for all the locks 
problems. After that, i intend to go into e:/Publico/cesar directory, which 
is in the same machine of the repository. The update is to be made on that 
directory, but yet i don't have this directory created, which i expect to 
happen after "cd e:/Publico/cesar & cvs95 co Projeto".

I have already tried both cvs and cvs95 commands. Neither of them has 
worked.

I tried that to get familiar to all the commands i can run from that file 
and the format of the line i have to place. Once that is done, i will try 
to do the automatic update itself. Another thing after that is to try the 
update on a remote machine.

I hope i could make myself clear. And i hope someone could help. For Bo and 
Oliver it would be the 3452345th time they would be helping me. I am 
greatful for all of them.

thank you people
