<exec> doesn't work well with interactive programs

           Summary: <exec> doesn't work well with interactive programs
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6Beta
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Using the exec task to execute an interactive program doesn't
seem to have its input stream set up correctly.  If I explicitly add
an input="/dev/tty" to the task it will stop and wait for input, but
the output won't show up until after the input is read.  Without the
input= the external program just gets eof on input.
Example, using external ftp program (yes, I know there's a ftp task):

<target name="foo">
   <exec executable="ftp" input="/dev/tty">
       <arg value="my.ftp.server"/>
   </exec>
</target>
