In fact, the error message implies that you did not properly set up the
notify file in CVSROOT. It sounds like you have it currently set to run
a program called 'mail' but that CVS can't find any program called
'mail' to run. Are you running the server on windows? The 'mail'
command that is referred to in many samples for the notify file is a
unix program that can be used to send an email from the command line.
You'll need to find or create (with perl, for example) a command line
email sending application, and then you need to configure the notify
file to use that application instead of 'mail'.

Subject: [cvsnt] How mail is sent on a watched file ?
Hi All,
Can you please help me in understanding how watches work. I have
properly set notify,users,checkoutlist files in CVSROOT.
I add watches on a particular read-only file (abc.txt) using,
cvs watch add abc.txt
I checked the same using,
cvs watchers abc.txt
Output is,
abc.txt cvs_admin edit unedit commit
admin tedit tunedit tcommit
When i do an edit, it gives me the following error message...
cvs edit abc.txt
'mail' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
The file is writable. but no mail is sent.
Can anyone help me in this...
Thanks in advance,
Raghuraman.
