Tech Tip of the Week

   Didja ever wish cvs update announced only the important changes and
   didn't clutter the screen with a listing of every directory it
   inspects (which inevitably scroll off the top of the screen)? Add this
   alias to your ~/.bashrc:
 alias update='cvs update 2>&1 | grep -v "^cvs server: Updating "'

   "grep -v" means show all lines except those matching this pattern.
   "2>&1" allows your pipeline to operate on messages that would
   otherwise go to standard error.
