Perhaps the problem is not with the script, but with the sshd running on the remote machine. Are you able to get an exit status 0 from the following command?
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "/etc/init.d/websphere start" Does this command exit properly once the server is started? I am reluctant to approve of edits to the sshexec task that are specific to a single command that users might run on the remote machine. I think the commiters will agree. -Rob Anderson > -----Original Message----- > From: Nick Neuberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 7:26 AM > To: 'Ant Users List' > Subject: RE: Sshexec fail on starting a service (websphere) > > > "The remote script should background the process and exit" > > I'm not too good with editing bash (websphered) scripts, but > it sure seems > like the script is sending a success message.
