Though *vmlauncher="false"* worked for me, it has the following problem:
This means control is being done by OS (not JVM). My script start multiple managed servers in a sequence. Once the 1st server is started and in the 'RUNNING' mode, Ant should get the control back so that it can start the 2nd server. If JVM has control, it passes the control back to ant, as it can identify the managed server has been started. In this case, as I give *vmlauncher="false" *my 1st server is getting started, but the control is not coming back to Ant. So, 2nd and 3rd servers are not getting started and Ant is waiting forever to get the control back. Also, *spawn="true"* doesn't work for my context, because, I have output/error redirection.
