Hello,
I am currently writing a small Shell script that will log into my CVS
respository and will issue a checkout. This script is intended to be
called every 10mn by a crontab.
Since "cvs login" does not have a command line option to pass the
password, I was wondering if there is a simple trick to run "cvs login"
automatically? I have tried things like:
echo "xxxxx" | cvs login
But it does not work (the password is not taken from the buffered stdin
I guess).
My original purpose was to perform an automatic checkout (in a test bed)
every time someone was doing a commit. Doing this with "commitinfo" did
not seem possible since "cvs commit" recursively commit all modified
files, if 100 files are commited at once, I don't want commitinfo to
launch 100 checkouts (maybe should I simply run one "update" per
"committed" file?). So I decided to go for a crontab (not as good, user
may have to wait 10mn to see their changes published in the test bed).
Any help or trick are welcome. I guess my problem is quite common. Hope
my questions are not too stupid :)
Cordially,
Mikael
