This is a shell question - not a CVS question.
in a shell variables are expanded in strings with double (") quotes but not
expanded in strings with single (') quotes.
I suspect you want to do this:
cvs commit -m 'Changed initial value of $my_var'
Different shells (bash/tcsh/perl?) behave differently.
You need the appropriate beating up so here goes :
"Please direct your questions to the $SHELL news group"
Good luck

Hi All,
My first post and new to CVS. Please don't beat me up.....
My question, am I not allowed to do the following?
cvs commit -m "Changed initial value of $my_var"
I would like $my_var to print out as is.
Thanks
