I'm not using rsync or anything like that, for instance. I'm going for something very simple to start with. Essentially what I have is something like this pseudocode: cvs update check if there really was an update and if not exit configure; get config.log make 2>&1 | make-filter >makelog make check 2>&1 | check-filter > checklog (TBD) send config status, make status, check status, logfiles make distclean The send piece will probably be a perl script using LWP and talking to a CGI script. cheers andrew
