I think this really depends on what you are executing with your shell script. Do the same scripts hang when you execute outside ant, using rexec or ssh? Try using nohup and be sure to background any processes you start.

My experience seems to indicate to me that both tasks don't seem to hang when executing shell scripts after exporting env variables with . ./profile. Is that everyone's experience or perhaps it's just me. I don't have much success trying to kill the parent process of the <rexec> on a remote host. My research shows that <rexec> basically issues sh -c <command> Is there a workaround to get out of the task at the end of shell script execution ? Even exit statement within shell script doesn't solve this. thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
