Question

My question is very simple. Take into consideration the code snippets below:

set cvsPath "C:/Program Files (x86)/cvsnt/cvs.exe"
puts [exec $::cvsPath log filename]
puts "------------- END OF SCRIPT ---------------------"

This one prints the log and then “————- END OF SCRIPT ———————“.

set cvsPath "C:/Program Files (x86)/cvsnt/cvs.exe"
puts [exec $::cvsPath -n upd]
puts "------------- END OF SCRIPT ---------------------"

This one prints the update messages and exits. Why? How to prevent exiting?

P.S. The reason of exiting is exec with cvs -n upd input…

Probably because you’re making csv.exe throw an error. Try catching it,

set cvsPath "C:/Program Files (x86)/cvsnt/cvs.exe"
if {[catch {puts [exec $::cvsPath -n upd]} result]} {puts $result}
puts "------------- END OF SCRIPT ---------------------"
