force execution of a target???

[Bryan . S . Queen]

I've got a simple ant file that I'm running from CruiseControl. Basically, 
it has these elements in it:

<project name="needHelp" default="runTests" basedir="checkout/projedt">

<property name="shutdown" value="true"/>

<target name="startAS">
    <exec
      dir="C:/oc4j/j2ee/home"
      executable="C:/work/cruise/webServerStart.bat"
      os="Windows XP"
      spawn="true"/>
</target>

<target name="runTests" depends="startAS">
     <ant antfile="regressionTest_build.xml" target="testManager"/>
</target>

<target name="shutdownAS" if="shutdown">
    <exec
      dir="C:/oc4j/j2ee/home"
      executable="C:/j2sdk1.4.2_07/bin/java.exe"
      os="Windows XP"
      failifexecutionfails="false">
        <arg line="-jar admin.jar ormi://localhost:23791 un pw 
-shutdown"/>
    </exec>
</target>
</project>

All of my tests are in regressionTest_build.xml under the testManager 
target....
So the issue is this:  I need to force the "shutdownAS" target to run 
regardless of whether the tests passed or not.  What's happening right now 
is that one of my tests is failing in the "runTests" target and so ant 
doesn't proceed any further in the "needHelp" project despite the presence 
of the "if" clause in the "shutdownAS" target.  Note too that in my 
CruiseControl configuration script I specify that both "runTests" and 
"shutdownAS" targets are to be run by CruiseControl but it seems to be 
ignoring me.

Sure would appreciate knowing how I can make that "shutdownAS" target 
execute no matter what.

Thanks,
