C.4.4.1 Loginfo example

The following ‘loginfo’ file, together with the tiny shell-script below, appends all log messages to the file ‘$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog’, and any commits to the administrative files (inside the ‘CVSROOT’ directory) are also logged in ‘/usr/adm/cvsroot-log’. Commits to the ‘prog1’ directory are mailed to ceder.

ALL             /usr/local/bin/cvs-log $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog $USER
^CVSROOT        /usr/local/bin/cvs-log /usr/adm/cvsroot-log
^prog1          Mail -s %s ceder

The shell-script ‘/usr/local/bin/cvs-log’ looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
(echo "------------------------------------------------------";
 echo -n $2"  ";
 date;
 echo;
 cat) >> $1
