I think that "copy" is not a valid executable...
Create a batch file and call it something like c:\temp\test.bat (innovative!)
then enter this inside:
copy %1 D:\
In the loginfo file you could enter:
ALL c:\temp\test.bat c:\temp\test.bat
This should copy the batch file itself over to the D:\ drive just as a test.
Using the {s} is not at all that simple as you might think, because the parameter
you will get is not the name of a real file, instead it is a list of the file(s)
committed (space separated) and these names refer to the module that is processed.
I actually don't know how you could get hold of the files themselves in this case.
There will be temporary working copies available in some temp dir, but you will
have to find out where. Not easy.
I think that you are better off trying a different approach in the batch file:
D:
cd \test\module
cvs update
If the d:\test\module is a checked out sandbox than chances are that you will get
these files updated and thus a fresh copy of what was checked out.
But beware of security settings, some protocols will not allow this kind of operation.
In that case maybe this will work:
D:
cd \test
if EXIST module rmdir /s /q module
set CVSROOT=:pserver:<your user account>:<your account password>@<your server>:/<your repository>
cvs export -r HEAD %1
Here you will have to supply the cvs login explicitly (username and password) on the
command line.
Again, this will get you the complete module contents, not only the files you were intyerested in.
Maybe you can go from here....

Subject: RE: [cvsnt] Scripting
Thanks.
However, I get:
cvs server: syntax error at line 1 file loginfo; ignored
from a TortoiseCVS client when I do a simple test.
I put the following line in my loginfo-file:
ALL copy %{s} d:\;
Is it my use of %{s} ? Do I need to point to the full path of 'copy' ?

You should probably use the postcommit script file insetad because it is triggered when everything is ready and there are no dangling tasks remaining.
The exact syntax is probably available on the cvsnt.org website, but should be similar to the other scripts:
<regular expression> <command to execute> <command line parameters>
where:
<regular expression> is a string telling CVSNT which selection to trigger for.
<command to execute> is a normal Windows command to run (executable only) and must *not* contain spaces
<command line parameters> are a space delimited list (that is why spaces are not allaowed above) of command parameters
Example:
ALL D:\Programs\CVSNT\mybatchfile.bat thisparameter thatparameter
will execute the mybatchfile.bat with the two given parameters for every commit that is done (ALL).

Subject: [cvsnt] Scripting
Greetings to everyone on the list - I'm new here.
I recently started digging into the world of CVS, and it's all still pretty overwhelming.
I run the CVSNT server on a Windows 2000 server.
As soon as I commit a file to a repository, I would like a dummy-copy of this new version to be copied to a certain directory, and then run a batch-file against this dummy-file.
I know that I should probably do some scripting in the loginfo -file.
What exactly is the format of this file? I see lots of Perl examples. Can I run a Windows batch-file from there? (IOW something like copy c:\blah.foo d:\blah.foo)??
Thanks,
