Respond to cvs password in bash script

daviddoria · #1 9th June 2009, 09:26 PM

I want to do this in a bash script:

Code:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.cmake.org:/cvsroot/CMake login
#respond with cmake
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.cmake.org:/cvsroot/CMake co CMake

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Dave

It turns out the right way to do this is to just put the password in the cvs command, ie:

Code:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:cmake@www.cmake.org:/cvsroot/CMake login

if the server requires a blank password, it seem like you can put whatever you want as the password, ie

Code:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:WHATEVER@www.cmake.org:/cvsroot/CMake login
