Tools to work with Subversion Verify

Question

We've got about 10 subversion repositories. To guard against repository corruption we run a batch file that runs the SVNAdmin Verify command against all of our repositories as a scheduled task each morning.

I'm looking for a tool to parse the output of the SVNAdmin verify command and alert me if there is a problem.

Has anybody got any recommendations or do i need to roll my own ?

Thanks

Answer 1

The exit code of svnadmin will tell you if there was a problem during the verification. Exit code of 0 means all ok. Nonzero means there was a problem.

We do this now with our server (WIN2K3). I have a batch file that runs "svanadmin verify" and "svnadmin hotcopy" each night. It checks the exit code of svnadmin after each step. It also does an "if exist" operation to verify the backups are actually created.
