Automatting cvs retrieval using Windows NT/2000 "at" command
A search of existing threads didn't reveal anything useful on this so here we go: I've got my build process completely automated via Ant (including checkout, tagging, etc.) and can kick that off at will from a command prompt on NT/2000. However, if I put the call to start ant in a batch file and have the "at" scheduler kick it off, I get the following back from cvs on the client: cvs [checkout aborted]: could not find out home directory Which home directory is it looking for and why doesn't it need it when the batch file is running normally under "DOS"?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- - Michael Stopper Senior Principal / SPS Technical Architect American Management Systems, Inc. 4114 Legato Road Fairfax, Virginia 22033 703.227.6646 Office 703.227.4696 FAX mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

I believe you need to set the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH environment variables. They're probably set for you automatically when you log in, but not set by the "at" scheduler for batch jobs. -Larry Jones You're going to be pretty lonely in the nursing home. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

This is based on my dealing with AT under NT 4, so caveat emptor... Check the permission of the user ID under which the AT scheduler is running; if it is "system" (presuming you repo is across the wire) then change it to something else as the "system" user doesn't have network access. Note future password changes to this user id must be changed manually. To test your environment under AT you can use unix style redirection: at 10:00 c:\path\batfile ">c:\path\file.log" "2>&1" where c:\path\batfile.bat contains: set Note you cannot put dos primatives (built-in commands) directly in the AT command. > -Original Message- > From: Michael Stopper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 7:57 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Automatting cvs retrieval using Windows NT/2000 "at" command > > > A search of existing threads didn't reveal anything useful on > this so here > we go: > > I've got my build process completely automated via Ant > (including checkout, > tagging, etc.) and can kick that off at will from a command prompt on > NT/2000.
