sending the script to the list would help us debug it for you... I set
up a script on a Solaris box with no problems though I'm leaving the
interaction for login active... I would guess that if you login from the
command prompt and then not have a login in the script that the "other" cvs
commands will look for your .cvspass file in your home directory and not
have to 'login'... Never tried it but in my mind it should work....
GaRy....

Subject: Use cvs in a script
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this mailing-list so please be patient if this question has
already been answered.
I'm trying to use cvs from within a shell script on linux machine. As
long as I'm using my local cvs repository everything works out fine.
But when I try to switch to a remote repository problems arise.
I use the -d flag to specify the remote repository, but I can't login
to that one. Just to be sure I setted it up correctly, I tried to
login from the command line and it works. But using my script fails.
There is nothing special within the scipt before the login call. Can
anybody help?
By the way, is there a way to specify the password for cvs login in
advance, so that there is no interaction within the script?
Thanks
Thorsten
