[cvsnt] postcommit

[Denver Root]

Hi, I have read several documents that say that you can use 'postcommit' in
the CVSroot to copy every file that is committed to a separate location (for
backup, whatever, etc.).  I have NO idea how to do this and I would love it
if you could offer me any help.

 

For simplicity's sake I will define a couple things:

 

All paths I give will relate to my CVS server.

I am running both the server and the "client" on Windows XP

 

My cvsroot is 'c:\cvs\cvsroot'

My module is 'module1'

My local copy of the module is '\\computer\cvs\module1'

My "backup" location is '\\backup\cvs\module1'

 

I want to commit file 'abc.txt' from my computer to the server.  Then I want
the server to automatically

copy the file I just committed to my backup location.

 

Here is the sequence of events {this means an action or command that takes
place}:

 

\\computer\cvs\module1\abc.txt   {cvs commit}  -->  c:\cvs\cvsroot\abc.txt
{copy}  -->  \\backup\cvs\module1\abc.txt    

 

 

Thanks a lot! (My e-mail is jfcube at hotmail.com <mailto:jfcube at hotmail.com> )
