They probably wrote that when an older build of CVSNT was being distributed--those things have a way of lingering. However, I've seen NT4 behave much nicer when it is rebooted once in awhile, so I implement periodic restarts also. My temp directory empty now, but I have seen some files left in there after an import--but I didn't take note of what they were (my impression was that they were at least some of the larger binaries that were imported). My server is very lightly used right now (just me with 1 project testing), but I haven't had any problems with locks. However, to directly answer your question: The AT scheduler typically runs under the service account (unless you have changed it). You can verify this by going into control panel and making sure the "Task Scheduler" is set to start under the system account. I verified this with the following batch file: getname.bat >>>>>>>> echo. | time | find "current" > %0.txt echo. | date | find "current" >> %0.txt whoami >> %0.txt echo. >> %0.txt set >> %0.txt <<<<<<<<< then scheduling it with (at 11:55 am): at 11:56 d:\junk_path\getname.bat Then checking the results in d:\junk_path\getname.bat.txt. Note that the whoami utility is available in either the NT resource kit or the Win32 port of GNU utilities (http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/).

Since we run cvsnt as the "system" user, and you can't schedule jobs as the system user I'm wondering what the best way to approach this is: * Create a new user for the cvs service to run as (cvsadmin or somethign). Question, will changing that effect anything? * Will running the job as administrator not matter (even though it's not system) so long as both users have sufficient privledges? Advice appreciated. Thanks, Adam. _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
