Hi Chris... I am having the same exactly problem with the sshexec, the same script sometimes works, sometimes it gives me "Remote command failed with exit status -1" , I was wondering if you have found the reason for this and a possible solution ?
this is driving me crazy since I can't find the exactly (valid) reason , so i can talk with my manager about it.. thanks in advance ken cprice wrote: > > Hi there; > > I run a deploy system using ant with sshexec and scp.
