CVS does not keep a "connection" so there are no connected users and there is no no-mans land to be left in... What happens is that *every* time a cvs client sends a command to the server it will also send user authentication that is used for that single command. When the command is done there is noone connected at all. So what you are looking for are very transient appearances of cvs.exe in the process list. Typically a cvs transaction lasts for maybe a second or slightly longer, then it is gone again. If you stop CVS in the middle of a longer transaction then that is aborted with no ill effects normally. But if you can check on the process list first for cvs.exe then you are pretty much on the safe side.

It will be pretty simple //first check that no one is connected and using it. net stop cvsnt rar.exe -blah $date.rar net start cvsnt +some error checking/feedback. Thats basically it. How do I check if no one is connected to it? Don't want to stop the Service is someone is doing an update....(even though this will be sheduled to run at midnight, I'd like to check...) If someone is connected, I plan on just waiting 5 minutes, then retrying indefinately. Also, is it possible to stop the CVS, but keep CVS server running to send back a specific error message to the user? Instead of completely stopping CVS and leave anyone who connects in no-mans-land, It would be nice if I could 'disable' the server, but if anyone tries to connect, it denies then and just says "Server is down for Maintainence, please try again in 10 minutes". Is this possible? Thank you very much. _________________________________________________________________ Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion. Have your say!
