If I were to summarize the information you have provided for
me

1) In the file $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/loginfo I make an entry
like this

^mydirectory NEW /usr/local/bin/cvslog.sh
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog


( I couldnt find the NEW keyword in the docs-my source of info is
http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html)

Now I need another program(written in Java or C) to monitor this logfile to
see if changes have been made. Correct ?

Thanks again,
Ashwin.
