Hello, I am using the rexec task of ant. This is the very useful task I found. I have a doubt: I want to run a shell script remotely using rexec task of ant. This shell script runs another process to the background. When I run a script, the background process starts but ant hangs. I want to continue ant for next tasks. Is there any attribute (or way) to run a process to background? (Something like "spwan" attribute in exec task) Can I have a solution for this? Thanks and Regards, Swati
