Hi Jan, That looks promising. Is there a way to make it work on both windows and unix? I develop on windows and deploy to solaris.

If that file does not exist (eg ${computername} is not set) it does not matter. You have to set the property 'computername'. On WinXP you can use a env variable: <property environment="env"/> <property name="computername" value="${env.COMPUTERNAME}"/> Jan >-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- >Von: Rakesh Patel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Gesendet: Freitag, 7.
