Automatting cvs retrieval using Windows NT/2000 at command
A search of existing threads didn't reveal anything useful on this so here we go: I've got my build process completely automated via Ant (including checkout, tagging, etc.) and can kick that off at will from a command prompt on NT/2000. However, if I put the call to start ant in a batch file and have the at scheduler kick it off, I get the following back from cvs on the client: cvs [checkout aborted]: could not find out home directory Which home directory is it looking for and why doesn't it need it when the batch file is running normally under DOS?? Any help would be appreciated.

I believe you need to set the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH environment variables. They're probably set for you automatically when you log in, but not set by the at scheduler for batch jobs. -Larry Jones You're going to be pretty lonely in the nursing home. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
RE: Automatting cvs retrieval using Windows NT/2000 at command
This is based on my dealing with AT under NT 4, so caveat emptor... Check the permission of the user ID under which the AT scheduler is running; if it is system (presuming you repo is across the wire) then change it to something else as the system user doesn't have network access. Note future password changes to this user id must be changed manually. To test your environment under AT you can use unix style redirection: at 10:00 c:\path\batfile c:\path\file.log 21 where c:\path\batfile.bat contains: set Note you cannot put dos primatives (built-in commands) directly in the AT command. -Original Message- From: Michael Stopper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 7:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Automatting cvs retrieval using Windows NT/2000 at command A search of existing threads didn't reveal anything useful on this so here we go: I've got my build process completely automated via Ant (including checkout, tagging, etc.) and can kick that off at will from a command prompt on NT/2000.
