/*
Could you possibly post a small example of the technique you're using?
I'm
not sure how to combine exec with ssh/scp. You can disguise the server
name,
user id, passphrase and so forth. The example doesn't need to do
anything
fancy; a simple 'pwd' and 'mkdir' would be fine.
It would really help me revise my script so that it works again!

I suppose you want to work on a unix box, as i do ?!
On a windows box you could use the free putty client, which has also
a command line interface.
What i did before writing the script =
i went to our unix admins and said i want to use ssh/scp without
password,
so my script runs without hardcoded passwords or any kind of interaction
(prompts for password).
they had to fiddle in the /home/.ssh directory,
your unix admins should know what to do ;-)
My script transfers all stuff to one unix machine and does
all the rest - copy and delete on other unix machines -
via scp / ssh
here's a part of a script using ssh / scp =
[ ... ]
<assert name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" execute="true">
<for list="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" param="delfile">
<sequential>
<echo message="Deleting File ->
${target}/@{Lum}/opt/[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />
*** Kornshell ksh , you may have another shell on your box
<exec executable="ksh" failonerror="true">
*** rm
with Flag -r you're able delete files _and_ directories(even if not
empty)
with Flag -f you don't get any error messages, i.e. when the file
doesn't
exist on one of the nodes
with Flag -e you get a message on stdout when a file is deleted
*** ssh
you have to put the whole line between ' ' and the rm command
between " "
just use your commands, i.e. pwd or mkdir in the same manner
<arg value='ssh @{server} "rm -r -f -e
${target}/@{Lum}/opt/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"'/>
</exec>
</sequential>
</for>
</assert>
<assert name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" execute="true">
<for list="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" param="copyfile">
<sequential>
<echo message="Copy File -> @{copyfile}" />
<exec executable="ksh" failonerror="true">
*** scp
with Flag -p the timestamps are preserved
with Flag -r you may copy files _and_ directories
*** the syntax with the 5 '@' has to be written that way because of
using ant-contrib for task
*** normally there's no linefeed after ${target}/ in my script
<arg value="scp -p -r ./@{Lum}/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
svcscmcs@@@@@{server}:${target}/@{Lum}/opt/[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />
</exec>
</sequential>
</for>
</assert>
