Yes, but a simple question comes to mi mind, why debian doesn't have mkbotdisk similar command. I couldn't find mkbootdisk source (tar file) to try to compile it on debian. Also, I'm looking for why debian doesn't have a similar command? Debian has mkboot but it only support floppies, Nowadays there're not floppies devices on servers.
Don't know if you understand me. With a similar command as mkbootdisk you do nothing but insert your CD and boot your server. Everything runs as always. It simply saves your live.
Thanks.

cvsconnect
CVSCONNECT(1) CVSCONNECT(1)
NAME
cvsconnect - CVS connection minimizer
SYNOPSIS
cvsconnect cvsroot [command-to-run ...]
DESCRIPTION
CVSconnect enables you to do multiple CVS operations on single network connection. CVSconnect sets up special environment using
$CVSRSH/$CVSROOT for the command line CVS client. In the environment, the command line CVS client reuses a network connection.
CVSconnect is especially designed to use with CVSsuck. And CVSconnect (or similar) will be integrated to a future version of CVSsuck.
However, it is planned that CVSsuck directly connects to a cvs server without cvs command.
EXAMPLES
cvsconnect $HOME/.cvsroot
BUGS
o The global option -z for compression cannot be used. If you use SSH via ext method, you can use compression by SSH instead.
o CVS client must be run at a time. Running two or more clients at a same time will make a trouble. (will be fixed in future release.)
o Some static variables in a CVS server may confuse you. It's a CVS bug. Report it to CVS developer :-).
o Command line CVS client must request `Root' first. Don't mind. There is no implementation which violates this assumption, however I
know. At least, CVS-1.10 and CVS-1.11 should work.
NOTES
o When CVS command is failed, CVSconnect automatically re-run the command with reconnected connection when CVS command is failed.
Especially the failure is caused by a long running CVS-1.10 server. Since CVS-1.10 doesn't close some file descriptors, a long running
CVS server will exceed a limit of file descriptors.
o /bin/sh should be POSIX sh because this script uses ${parameter#pattern}, etc. If your /bin/sh is ancient Bourne shell, use ksh or
bash.
