posttag command does not work like the rest.

[Jeff Pream]

Hello,

 

I’m trying to execute a script in posttag just as it is in loginfo, but they do not treat the command the same.

 

If I use this command line (below) in loginfo, it works as expected.

^chips/TestChip\(/\|$\) (/path/arch_spec_page_update.pl %c %R %p %r %{sVv}) >> /path/arch_spec_page_update.txt 2>&1

 

But if I use it in posttag, I get the following error.

cvs tag: cannot exec (/path/arch_spec_page_update.pl: No such file or directory

 

It acts as if it the ‘(‘ is part of the command name/path.   If I eliminate both of the parenthesis in the command in posttag, it calls the /path/arch_spec_page_update.pl script and passes everything after it as an argument including the redirect and file name.

 

What is the trick to getting posttag to handle the command just as loginfo does?

 

Thanks.

Jeff
