ALL (echo ""; date; cat) | \/usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/log -u $USER -s
\-m address@hidden
I think what above stuff is doing is sending the date and the log
message (cat) to the log.pl perl script. Dont i need to add 'cat'
there to send the entire cvs message to log.pl ?
BTW i figured out what was wrong. I was not passing the the log file
using -f option which is why it use kick me saying could not open ():
no such file or directory. I think it is mandatory to pass the log
file using -f option
Thanks
