Re: cvs-update triggers

[Arthur Barrett]

Paul,

Use the "precommand" (or "postcommand") trigger.
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/postcommand.html

This is only available in CVSNT 2.0.58 and later.

CVSNT is free (GPL - just like CVS) is available on Linux, Unix, Windows,
Mac OS X etc etc.  If you are using WinCVS or TortoiseCVS then you are
already using it (it comes bundled with those).  Since the triggers are
executed on the server then you will need to be running CVSNT on the server.

is this possible to set-up?
