Thanks for the recommendation, your the second person to suggest cron.
jcs@ suggested looking at loginfo in CVSROOT, but I haven't had much luck
there. I added "^webapp cd /var/www/webapp && cvs update -d" but there
seems to be a locking issue, I'm guessing cvs update tries to run before
the commit is finished, which it won't allow.

James,
I do roughly the same thing with a few of my websites, with one
exception, I have a cron job that runs every hour to update the sites. This
is not instantaneous but it works well enough for my sites. While you can
adjust the timing to every five mins if you need it that quickly (as there
would not be any bandwidth usage just disk IO) I found that this way results
in way to much email confirming the updates during the times that I am not
developing (while I am at work, or in bed for instance) and coming home to
several hundred CVS update messages tends to get annoying, let alone makes my
inbox a lot larger then I really want to deal with in a short amount of time.
Hope this helps.

I just started using cvs to manage a new web project had a usage question I
was wondering if anyone could help me with. Once I run "cvs commit" in my
local repos I would like the server to automatically run a "cvs update" on
a checkout which is located on the same server as the cvs repos. I was
wondering if this was possible and how you might go out doing it. Thanks.
