I assume that in the client/server method inetd gets involved
on that path.  When you call cvs status separately for each filename,
your sudden flood of calls might exceed inetd's threshold for
a suspected denial of service attack, so inetd puts the service offline
for a while to protect the server from the perceived attack.

RE: Way of listing *pathnames* of files in workspace

2002-01-31 Thread Glew, Andy 

 (The best way I can see to do this without accessing 
 CVS/{Root,Repository,Entries}
 is to run find -type f -print | xargs -n 1, passing a 
 script to xargs that runs 
 cvs status on the filename it is given, printing the filename 
 if cvs status works.
 Klugey, but workable.  Is there a better way?)

This find ... | xargs ... cvs status ...  works okay,
except for the fact that it manages to cause

I think I'll munge CVS/Entries.
Fragile, but reliable.
