Hi Carsten!

Thanks. Did not realize that any executables would do or that just
the name is important, not the extension which to my knowledge is
not known under Linux at all. Think they have a file attribute for
executables and then say in the script's first line which program
where to use.

With batch files I have some experience, way back in Novell DOS
7.1 days when Windows was WfW3.11 ... Must get acquainted
with the START part though. It should be possible to catch the
result with errorlevel commands. OTOH as this is an svnadmin
command running on the server it may be very difficult to get the
output of errorlevel back to the machine/user actually committing.
Maybe script languages like Perl can do this better than batch
commands. Since a few weeks I have Python here, but it is my
first experience with programming and so far I do not know how to
call other apps from Python (is that what the Python bindings are
for? I don't know).

Have a fine day!
