verifymsg script problem

[Roni Abusch]

I've tried to use the sample script that can be found in the manual, and
like I was advised by Jerry (thanks!) I did as followed:

1) Checked out CVSROOT
cvs co CVSROOT

2) added a directory for the script and template
cd CVSROOT
mkdir cvsscripts
cvs add cvsscripts

3) added my script and template
cd cvsscripts
cp ...somewhere.../bugid.verify ...somewhere.../bugid.template .
cvs add bugid.*
cvs ci -m "new bugid stuff" bugid.*
cd ..

4) added these files to the checkoutlist
echo cvsscripts/bugid.verify >> checkoutlist
echo cvsscripts/bugid.template >> checkoutlist
cvs ci -m "new bugid stuff" checkoutlist

5) added the required lines to verifymsg and rcsinfo
echo '^Test $(CVSROOT)/CVSROOT/cvsscripts/bugid.verify' >> verifymsg
echo '^Test $(CVSROOT)/CVSROOT/cvsscripts/bugid.template' >> rcsinfo
cvs ci -m "new bugid stuff" verifymsg rcsinfo

My script file (bugid.verify) was copied from the manual, and looked like
this:

#!/bin/sh
#
#       bugid.verify filename
#
#  Call $EDITOR on FILENAME, and verify that the
#  resulting file contains a valid bugid on the first
#  line.
if [ "x$EDITOR" = "x" ]; then EDITOR=vi; fi
if [ "x$CVSEDITOR" = "x" ]; then CVSEDITOR=$EDITOR; fi
$CVSEDITOR $1
until head -1|grep '^BugId:[ ]*[0-9][0-9]*$' < $1
do  echo -n  "No BugId found.  Edit again? ([y]/n)"
    read ans
    case ${ans} in
        n*) exit 1;;
    esac
    $CVSEDITOR $1
done

and when I used it it gave me the following error:

cvs commit: cannot exec /home/cvsroot/CVSROOT/cvsscripts/bugid.verify: No
such file or directory
cvs [commit aborted]: Message verification failed

I removed the comment lines from the beginning and used this script:

if [ "x$EDITOR" = "x" ]; then EDITOR=emacs; fi
if [ "x$CVSEDITOR" = "x" ]; then CVSEDITOR=$EDITOR; fi
$CVSEDITOR $1
until head -1|grep '^BugId:[ ]*[0-9][0-9]*$' < $1
do  echo -n  "No BugId found.  Edit again? ([y]/n)"
    read ans
    case ${ans} in
        n*) exit 1;;
    esac
    $CVSEDITOR $1
done

and now I'm getting this error:

'home/cvsroot/CVSROOT/cvsscripts/commentcheck.edit: line 7: syntax error
near unexpected token `in
'home/cvsroot/CVSROOT/cvsscripts/commentcheck.edit: line 7: `    case ${ans}
in
cvs [commit aborted]: Message verification failed

Does anyone can help me with that? I'm really stuck here.
Thanks,
Roni.
