Basically, write a shell script to do the cvsup, then drop it into /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily. That way, the cvsup gets integrated into the rest of the daily system processing, and you can be absolutely sure it runs before (or after, if you wish) your daily backups. <mike > ------=_NextPart_000_001C_01C0A80F.0B049780 > Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; > name="winmail.dat" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 > Content-Disposition: attachment; > filename="winmail.dat" > > eJ8+IiABAQaQCAAEAAAAAAABAAEAAQeQBgAIAAAA5AQAAAAAAADoAAEIgAcAGAAAAElQTS5NaWNy > b3NvZnQgTWFpbC5Ob3RlADEIAQ2ABAACAAAAAgACAAEGgAMADgAAANEHAwAIABQAIQAAAAQAHAEB > A5AGANQGAAAmAAAACwACAAEAAAALACMAAAAAAAMAJgAAAAAACwApAAAAAAADADYAAAAAAB4AcAAB > AAAAEQAAAENyb250YWIgUXVlc3Rpb24AAAAAAgFxAAEAAAAWAAAAAcCoOOCJ7VGsCBP3EdWimwDg > KW8yBwAAAgEdDAEAAAAiAAAAU01UUDpQRUFCT0RZMDA3QERFRVBTUEFDRU5JTkUuQ09NAAAACwAB > DgAAAABAAAYOAG474DiowAECAQoOAQAAABgAAAAAAAAAq96N8edD1BG4SQDgKW8yB8KAAAALAB8O > AQAAAAIBCRABAAAAawIAAGcCAABSAwAATFpGdaJ9QmIDAAoAcmNwZzEyNRYyAPgLYG4OEDAzM08B > 9wKkA+MCAGNoCsBz8GV0MCAHEwKDAFADVDcQyQdtAoB9CoAIyCA7WwlvDjA1AoAKgXYIkHfSawuA > ZDQMYGMAUAsDEQu1IFF1DeBrIHHRClBzdGkCIC4ZYQWgoHVsZCBzA3BlAiBwZSBwbwuABUAHgCCA > dG8gYSBnbwRwuRnwaXQaYAIgGwBoGmDuSQIwBJERMCAD8BwwGzEcdHUbEAciG/BmIEPHA2ACMAGg > cz8gHGAc8I8AcAVAGxERISB1cBsxIwUAHAFqb2IbAmN28nMfwW15GnEAIAQgCOHGbAWQGSIgZXYE > kCFA+QMAZ2gFQABwGeAe4AdAzR8AeQQgESBlbRsCEPD/IoAbMQqwC4AfchkgDyAgAz0eci4ewhpQ > CYAbAmtuem8H4HccQAlwGwILgGN/CkABABwhBAAn4RwjJcUgvmYDEBpgAhAFwANgbwVA9SURLxEw > YyMjBpAiwCph+Sdkc2gZsx7gH4IbwB+xLj8KogqECoBUEPBua9Eoo2FkdgBwYynkHDK5HEBscC1a > MF4LMGMSAuMSEQvwNCBCCfAeIANw9wUwAiAtVFAJcACQAQACMPEtVEdhbQDAEWAv0BDweRMwYXUe > IBDwBTAEkCBoUEJMLVRTCGAcMHfBGQEgVmlyZwuABzDpMsJtdQMAdCFACFAh4eRnZS1aIkErIhwU > CfD7GeAcAWQJcDSgBCA28BzxsyHgOsBlcDphGWEiLVSnHsA83z3dLVYDkUgHQH8yoT3VMRwC0QvF > LWMUUQABQhAAAwAAfAUAAAALAAGACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAADhQAAAAAAAAMAEIAIIAYA > AAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAFKFAAAnagEAHgASgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAVIUAAAEAAAAE > AAAAOS4wAB4AE4AIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAADaFAAABAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAeABSACCAGAAAA > AADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAA3hQAAAQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAHgAVgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAOIUA > AAEAAAABAAAAAAAAAAsAFoAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAIKFAAABAAAACwBDgAggBgAAAAAA > wAAAAAAAAEYAAAAADoUAAAAAAAADAEWACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAAQhQAAAAAAAAMARoAI > IAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAABGFAAAAAAAAAwBHgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAGIUAAAAA > AAALAF6ACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAAGhQAAAAAAAAMAX4AIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAA > AAGFAAAAAAAAAgH4DwEAAAAQAAAAq96N8edD1BG4SQDgKW8yBwIB+g8BAAAAEAAAAKvejfHnQ9QR > uEkA4ClvMgcCAfsPAQAAAIIAAAAAAAAAOKG7EAXlEBqhuwgAKypWwgAAUFNUUFJYLkRMTAAAAAAA > AAAATklUQfm/uAEAqgA32W4AAABDOlxXSU5ET1dTXExvY2FsIFNldHRpbmdzXEFwcGxpY2F0aW9u > IERhdGFcTWljcm9zb2Z0XE91dGxvb2tcb3V0bG9vay5wc3QAAAADAP4PBQAAAAMADTT9NwAAAgF/ > AAEAAAA8AAAAPE5FQkJMSUVKS0xET0tFSk9ORkVFRUVHTkNEQUEucGVhYm9keTAwN0BkZWVwc3Bh > Y2VuaW5lLmNvbT4AAwAGEEggbf4DAAcQkgEAAAMAEBAAAAAAAwAREAAAAAAeAAgQAQAAAGUAAABR > VUlDS1FVRVNUSU9OQ09VTERTT01FT05FUE9JTlRNRVRPQUdPT0RTSVRFT05USEVJTlRFUk5FVFdJ > VEhBVFVUT1JJQUxPRkNST05UQUJTP0lXQU5UVE9TRVRVUEFDUk9OSk9CAAAAAG54 > > ------=_NextPart_000_001C_01C0A80F.0B049780-- > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
