http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23893 EXEC hangs until all processes launched from within .bat file finish. ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-04-01 21:00 ------- OK, maybe I wasn't very explicit ;-) The goal of spawn is to start and forget a process, that can (will) outlive the Java VM Ant is running inside of. If the started process is I/O intensive, it feels the system (native) buffers, and hangs when these buffers are full. Your fix ensures that the out (err?) buffers are read from, thus providing room for the process to write some more output, and un-hang until the buffers are full again. But, who's going to read these buffers after Ant and its VM terminates? The spawned process goes on living, but if it ever fills the system buffers again, Ant is not there to pump the buffers anymore? So is it in fact possible at all to spawn such a I/O intensive process at all??? Am I making more sense now? --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
