One possibility is to create a /etc/xinetd.d/pserverON file (disable=no), a /etc/xinetd.d/pserverOFF(disable=yes) file, in your script copy the appropriate file to /etc/xinetd.d/pserver and then restart xinetd. Don't forget to kill any previously existing pserver processes that exist since they will not be stopped when you restart xinetd. Another option is to use file permissions/locks to allow your developers to check out while you're backing up but not able to write to the repository: http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.6/cvs_2.html#SEC13 There is some discussion of backing up the repository in the CVS archives: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/ Regards, Mike Klinke Regards, Mike Klinke -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
