You can find a brief description plus a link to the perforce-standard review daemon here: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/loadsupp.html#daemon It's designed to send email to perforce user. Actually, something similar ought to be running on the repository already. If so, and you're not using it, you can 'cheat' by setting up the mail list you want and pointing your p4 user Email field at that, along with the appropriate Reviews setting for yourself. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
