Re: CVS server process still running long after command is executed

[Jeeva Sarma]

Hi

How do I log the output from cvs?My server is FreeBSD.

I am not very familiar with system administration.

cvs is not running as a daemon.I don't understand how
the remote client accesses cvs.
Is it thro' rshd, which is a daemon?
So to trace cvs process,should I trace the inetd
daemon which inturn starts the shell daemon(rshd)?If
so,what specific commands should I look for?

Pls give me some pointers as to where to start.

Also if someone can explain how cvs client and server
communicate and how inetd knows to call cvs when a
client runs a cvs command?

Thanks a lot,
Jeeva Sarma
