[Cvsnt] Anyone using cvsntupd?

[Edward Gemar]

John,
	Thanks for the help.  I think it may be a permission problem.
I've tried both cvsntupd.exe and update_websites.pl with the same
results.  The commands that cvsntupd and the perl script generate are
correct and run fine when I enter them from the command line, but when
run via cvsntupd or the perl script all I get is an empty log file and
the task finishes with an errorlevel of 1.  Is there any good way to
debug a scheduled task?  It would be nice to see the output of the
command interpreter to get a better idea of what could be going wrong
here.  Piping to a log won't catch that.  Any ideas?

	Edward

Since I wrote the code, I suppose I could help... ;~)

Everytime someone reports a problem with cvsntupd, it is usually a
misconfigured INI file or a misunderstanding of the theory behind how
the
directories are set up.  If you can successfully run the exact cvs
command
that is logged from the same directory, then it is likely you have a
permission problem instead.

Could you post your INI file entries and describe your web server
directory
structure?
