Synopsis
watch { { on | off } | { add | remove }
[ -a action ] }
[ -l | -R ]
file ...The watch command controls
CVS’s edit tracking mechanism. By default, CVS
operates in its concurrent development mode, allowing any user to
edit any file at any time. CVS includes this
watch mechanism to support developers who would
rather be notified of edits made by others proactively than discover
them when doing an update. The
CVSROOT/notify file determines how notifications
are performed.
Table 17-27 shows the watch
subcommands and their uses.
