What *exactly* are you trying to do?
The contents of the batch file would help a bit....

We use batch files all the time with CVS in our release setup
build process and it works fine.
You just have to mimic exactly what you would do on the command
line to get the results you need.
So enter manually the needed commands on a command prompt and
record what you did in order to get the right data, then create
the batch file with this contents and you should be fine.

But I would be careful not to mix Windows commands with Cygwin,
especially not in the same sandbox, because inherently Cygwin
commands create UNIX style files whereas Windows commands create
Windows style file (different line endings).

Be careful here!

Subject: [cvsnt] directory references


Hi list

We would like to use CVSNT to update some files from a Windows batch-file and from a GNU Makefile (cygwin). However, we have problems referencing the files because they stay in another directory and sandbox.

The batch-file or Makefile is run from "c:\cvswork\somemodule\" and the files to update is placed in "c:\cvslib\somelibrary\"

We have tried the command "cvs update ..\..\cvslib\somelibrary\" but CVSNT responds with the error "cvs [update aborted]: writing to server socket: error -1". Our experiments indicate that CVSNT is not able to reference across sandboxes.

Is it possible to do this and how do we do it?

We use CVSNT 2.0.58d client and server.

/Kenneth
