I am using Ant 1.7.0 not Ant 1.7.1 that has "truncate" task.
I have to empty the file using Ant 1.7.0. on Linux - file name is
/var/log/testmesg, and it has read/write permissions for everybody.
I tried the following:
<ant default="truncate">
<target name="truncate">
<exec executable="cat" searchpath="bin">
<arg value="/dev/null"/>
<arg value=">"/>
<arg value="/var/log/testmesg"/>
</exec>
</target>
</ant>
and this does not empty the file. What am I doing wrong, or maybe there is
another was to clean up the file?
Thanks.
