[p4] How to negate a trigger without removing it from thetriggers form

[Albrecht, Matt]

The technique I've been using lately is to change the search path to something that doesn't exist, for example:

   RequireJobs submit //depot/... "perl mycommand"
to:
   RequireJobs submit //xdepot/... "perl mycommand"

It's very easy to spot the difference, easy to change, and I don't have to worry about typos causing trigger errors.

Prefixing the command with 'exit;' seems to work (tested on a Linux
server).  For example:

Triggers:
   modify-submit-form out change "exit;modify-submit-form %formfile%"


Hope that helps,
John
