Operating Systems AIX Locking a file when using VI to prevent multiple-edit sessions by diff users Post 302095862 by cbkihong on Friday 10th of November 2006 08:15:07 PM

A revision management system such as CVS and Subversion will eliminate all of your worries in the long run.

Do not let everybody modify the production version. Have every staff checkout a local copy, which everyone modifies on their own, commit to CVS, and at last only update the production version by the administrator after the current version has been considered okay.

Best of all, such systems can help you keep the revision history of every file managed, so you literally never lose anything!

NAME
cvsmgdiff - uses mgdiff to display differences between any two cvs revisions. SYNOPSIS
cvsmgdiff [-v|-h|-g gui|-r rev1 [-r rev2]] file ... DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cvsmgdiff program. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page. This script lets you recursively diff the CVS directories you have checked out. To use, just pass in an optional revision levels and an optional file directory name. This script then will show you the differences you're interested in. OPTIONS
-v Print version information successfully -h Print help information -g gui Use the program gui as the user interface (default: /usr/bin/mgdiff) -r revision Specify the CVS revision to view. If just one -r option is given, view differences between that revision and the current file in the CVS working directory. If two -r options are given, compare those two revisions with each other. AUTHOR
cvsmgdiff appears to have been written by Paul Serice. This manual page was written by Ian Zimmerman <itz@speakeasy.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux project, but may be used by others. It was written with the assistance of pod2man(1). 3rd Berkeley Distribution Utility Scripts CVSMGDIFF(1)
