I think this is more of a windows than an ant question;
Does anyone know if it's possible to create a new window when spawning
a cmd command? For instance, I'd like to have the following exec task
create a new cmd window so I can see the results. This is an example:
<exec executable="cmd" spawn="true" dir="${windows.weblogicDir}">
<arg line="/c pwd"/>
</exec>
Thanks,
Brian
