Hi

I wrote a small script to cvsup stable, ports and doc every couple of
days by running cvsup <supfile> > <logfile> for each collection. Somehow
this script appears to have 'gone wrong' leaving several copies of cvsup
running at once. Is running more than one copy of cvsup at once likely
to have damaged /usr/src or /usr/ports?  If so, how I remove the
collections and re-cvsup them? I have built world from if it matters at
all.

What sort of logging should I expect from cvsup -g -L 2? I get 'added
delta' etc for the ports, but only 'Updating collection src-all/cvs' for
stable. Is this correct? I'd like a list of changed files each time I
cvsup.

As a matter of interest, how does everyone else run cvsup from cron? I'm
using:

#!/bin/sh

DATE=`date '+%Y-%m-%d'`

/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 ~/cvsup/ports-supfile > \
~/cvsup/logs/log-ports-$DATE
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 ~/cvsup/doc-supfile > \
~/cvsup/logs/log-doc-$DATE
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 ~/cvsup/stable-supfile > \
~/cvsup/logs/log-stable-$DATE

Sorry if these are common questions - I searched the archives but
couldn't find anything.

Cheers,
