[cvsnt] Re: Precommand - a valid example to test

[kerry richard]

Having originally raised this issue on the list I'd better report my
results here.  Thanks to March-Hare for helping me sort it out.

To make this work as Bo expected I needed to add Execute permission for
the user (in my case a Group containing the user) to
windows/system32/cmd.exe.

Execute permission was already present on the .bat file (via the
Everyone group) so I didn't test whether that was also necessary, but I
was advised that it would be.


Informatively,
Sometimes,
Richard.

Sorry, no.  Same as before.

1 and 2.  Done exactly as Bo's described.

3.  (applications.dtd is a file that is up-to-date)

cvs update -- applications.dtd

Script execution failed
cvs server: Pre-command check failed

As before.
Is there anything else I need to check or do ?


Unhelpfully,
Richard.

PS.  Referring also to March-Hare as I now have CVS Suite and support.

It is very simple, really. I fixed a test in about 3 minutes:

1. Create a batch file C:/Temp/cvstst/precmdtest.bat:
@echo off
c:
cd c:\Temp\cvstst
echo User: %1
echo Param2: %2
echo Param3: %3
echo Param4: %4

2. Edit and commit the precommand file:
ALL C:/Temp/cvstst/precmdtest.bat $USER %r %c %d

3. Do an update on a file that is up-to-date:

cvs update -- ThirdFile.txt
User: AGIUSA\Bosse

Param2: /KORVkiosk

Param3: update

Param4: "Fri Jan 27 17:37:56 2006"
