Nothing should be screwed up by that, but you throw away most of the useful output. A better variation IMO would be to send all output to a log file with the 'tee' command, and then scan that for errors if anything goes wrong: tcsh% fink selfupdate-cvs |& tee ~/fink_selfupdate-cvs tcsh% grep 'no longer in the repository' ~/fink_selfupdate-cvs Note the '|&' construct -- in the tcsh shell [OSX default], this sends both standard output & standard error down the pipe. If you don't capture stderr then chances are you won't capture error messages. The same trick can be donw in bash/sh but I forget the syntax on that side... At a guess, you might have an error in there about "move $foo, it is in the way" or something like that. This can happen when you've manually edited a file that CVS wants to have exclusive read/write/create/delete access to. If you have any errors like that, do what it says -- find the file that it's complaining about and move or delete it, then re-run the CVS update. If that was the error, the update should then work. -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yow!
