swcopy multiple patches without gui

[borut kurnik_1]

Hello!

I would like to copy several '.depot' files
into one single depot directory, so
I wrote a short script for that.

The only problem is that the
'-enable_dependencies=false' and
deassigning the DISPLAY variable
still aren't enough to disable
gui(text mode at least).

So how do i enforce batch mode
operation?

Thanks,

Borut

I've always used this:

mkdir /my_patch_depot

for i in PH*.depot
do
swcopy -s ${PWD}$i \* @ /my_patch_depot
done


I've never had to unset my display!

Hi,

you should swcopy NOT give the option '-i'.
When specifying the patches to swcopy completely (swcopy ... \* @ target) like Pete responded), no GUI is started.

Hello!

Thanks, Pete.

I was missing the SW
selection '\*'.
