Abras, this question was already answered by me about a week ago. Please make sure that you post questions with a descriptive subject since these newsgroups and mail lists are treating threads by subject. When you post without subject the result will be like on this reply (I will not adda a subject in order not to break the thread). The result is that your question gets hidden within a thread that is of no interest to anybody and you get no answer.... I would have set a subject like this: 'Can I add a repository to CVSNT without restarting the service?' Anyway, back to your question: No, the CVSNT service application reads the registry when it starts up and that is where it gets the information on which repositories to serve. On the other hand it is safe to first add the new repository to the registry and then do the following in quick succession: net stop cvs net start cvs The service application works by communicating with the clients and it transfers cvs calls to a new local cvs process for each command. Stopping the service will not affect the running of the just started cvs process (if any) and so will not destroy anything. At most the clients will see a temporary network connection glitch, that is all. Also remember that cvs is not something you are connected to for long times, it is called, does its job and then quits. So you are not likely to hit a time when anyone is connected for a command unless you have a *very large* population of developers on your system. /Bo On Thu, 2 May 2002 08:55:43 +0000 (UTC), abras at flashmail.com wrote: > <abras at flashmail.com>) Thu May 2 08:23:36 2002 >(Redirected by "Sebastien" <abras at flashmail.com>) >Hi all, >Hi Tony, > >It is important for me to have answers to these questions, especially the= > last one.
