I have been working on a project for my company that uses Hudson Continuous Integration to test newly committed Java code. My goal is to have CVS call Hudson to run a testing script after a Commit. I have tried several solutions, but I just don't know CVS well enough to reach my goal. What are CVS's limitations in terms of automatic functionality after a commit? Can it call an external script file? Can it open a web browser and click on a field? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
 
Please let me know if further information is needed, thanks.
 
There is quite a bit of information on the basics of this on the web - you could start by reading pages like this:

I myself have a post commit call to a script that does some simple housekeeping and generates emails. I don't see why you couldn't hook it up to a script that could do exactly what you wanted but I can't think how it would directly open a browser and take action. Remember to be careful about how long your script blocks for.

Thanks man, I've been searching online for a long time, and that site is the first I found with any useful information. I hope I find more like it. If you know of any other sites or information available, please let me know.

Thanks again.
