The post on CruiseControl's Confluence maybe easier to follow
(http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CC/Running+Servertest
s+with+Ant), but basically you use the script as a wrapper to call
yours. I actually added the 'ANTRUN_OUTPUT' variable to the wrapper
script and just execute an ssh command.
So, 'antRunAsync.sh':
#!/bin/sh
# antRunAsync - Wrapper script to run an executable detached in the
# background from Ant's <exec> task. This works be redirecting stdin,
# stdout and stderr so Ant finds them closed and doesn't wait for the
# program to exit.
#
# usage:
# <exec executable="antRunAsync.sh" failonerror="yes">
# <env key="ANTRUN_NOHUP" value="true" /> <!-- optional -->
# <env key="ANTRUN_OUTPUT" value="output.log" /> <!-- required, may
be /dev/null -->
# <arg value="real executable" />
# </exec>
# If ANTRUN_NOHUP environment variable is set to true/yes/nohup, run
the
# executable prefixed with "nohup" making it immune to logging out.
case "$ANTRUN_NOHUP" in
true|yes|nohup) ANTRUN_NOHUP=nohup ;;
*) unset ANTRUN_NOHUP ;;
esac
# ANTRUN_OUTPUT environment variable must be set to output file name or
# executable can't run detached
ANTRUN_OUTPUT=../my/path/here/nohup.out ### <-- THE ONLY THING I ADDED
if [ -n "$ANTRUN_OUTPUT" ]
then
$ANTRUN_NOHUP $@ </dev/null > "$ANTRUN_OUTPUT" 2>&1 &
exit 0
else
echo "$0: ERROR: variable ANTRUN_OUTPUT must be set to output file
name!"
exit 1
fi
My ant exec:
<exec executable="ssh">
<arg line="${remote.host} ./antRunAsync.sh ./run_app.sh " />
</exec>
And run_app.sh is simply:
cd /path/to/my/app
nohup ./run.sh &
I don't actually know if it works with rexec, I had issues getting rexec
to work and went back to exec.

It's a little complicated for me in that solution.
Do you have a simpler one ?
Will it work for <rexec> as opposed to <exec> ?
Thanks
