Thanks a lot for your responses guys. Could you clarify How can I run "cvs diff" command from one of the scripts with I included into loginfo file. It seems to me that "cvs diff" command works only when it is executed from working directory. Is it right ? If yes , Does anybody know any workaround ?
Thanks.

Look for the node 'checkoutlist' in info cvs, it's under 'administrative files'. Simply add the filename (and maybe path from CVSROOT) in the 'checkoutlist' file in CVSROOT, and it will be treated as an administrative file. > 2.

See the 'notify' administrative file and the 'watch' commands in 'info cvs', or the 'loginfo' administrative file. You would include 'cvs diff' as part of the command run from 'notify' or 'loginfo'. Pipe the results of the diff into an email, and send the email. (Make sure you background the command, to prevent deadlocks.)
