It's pretty easy with a script called by the notify mechanism, here are some bits pruned out of the script I use (below). Something to start with - further refinement is an exercise in perl (or whatever language), not really a CVS question. ---------- begin cvsnotify.pl ---------- #!/usr/bin/perl $CVSROOT = '/YOURCVSROOT'; # config $watcher_address = shift @ARGV; # watch is single arg @cvs_input = <>; # parse notify info passed in on stdin chomp @cvs_input; # remove newlines shift @cvs_input; # skip a line shift @cvs_input; # skip a line $module = shift @cvs_input; # better place to get module $module =~ s/Triggered (\w+) watch on $CVSROOT\///; $file =~ s/^$module //; $line = shift @cvs_input; # changed by - should be the same ($nop, $changer) = split (' ',$line);# as the email sender $rlog_file = $CVSROOT . '/' . $module . '/' . $file . ',v'; # then do something with this info, e.g., put the changer, file, and # module in the subject line: open (MAIL, "| mail -s '$changer changed $file in $module' $watcher_address"); print MAIL "interesting things can be done by looking at the rcs file\n"; close MAILINP; ---------- end cvsnotify.pl ---------- Make sure CVS is set up to use the script, for starters: ---------- begin CVSROOT/notify ---------- ALL /PATHTO/cvsnotify.pl %s ---------- end CVSROOT/notify ---------- -- Nobody knows the trouble I've been. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
