I'm using Ant version 1.7.0 on AIX 5.3 servers and I'm seeing some odd behavior, just wondering if anyone else has encountered this. I'm copying some zip files over to another server, unzipping them, ssh'ing and doing a chmod u+x, then trying to execute one of the scripts. It seems everytime I add an sshexec to execute a script, I lose my chmod permission changes. I can do an ls -al before and after the chmod in the same sshexec line and see the permissions change. I can also run a 2nd sshexec with ls -al and see the permissions are still correct. When I add the additional sshexec to try and execute one of the scripts, I get errors and I see that the permissions change on the remote server is not there.
So either I'm getting false reporting on which line is failing and the chmod is inconsistently failing or somehow the sshexec to run the script is somehow affecting the previous ssh command. If the first sshexec for the chmod failed due to server timeout or something similar, I would expect an error like "Remote command failed with exit status -1" not the errors I am seeing flagging the script executing sshexec line. It seems as though I need to remove the script executing sshexec line to get the chmod to work again. (ie. multiple reruns of script doesn't help). I can see in the output of the execution that it is getting changed, yet when I look on the remote server the perms are not changed? I've tried to test out a few theories like: 1. does a regular cmd rather than sshexec succeed after the chmod sshexec and are perms still correct - yes (echo) 2. is it being caused by the user being in the folders that are being removed/recreated on remote server while that activity is running - no 3. can I run a different sshexec cmd and have it succeed - yes, sshexec with ls -al succeeds If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd appreciated them. Here's a sample of the code: <echo message="== make scripts executable at ${target.fldr.path}/Workbooks/s cripts/DeploymentScripts ==" /> <sshexec host="${target.server}" username="${target.user}" password="${targe t.password}" failonerror="true" trust="true" output="${target.log}" append="true " command="cd ${target.fldr.path}/Workbooks/scripts/DeploymentScripts; ls -al; c hmod u+x ${target.fldr.path}/Workbooks/scripts/DeploymentScripts/*.ksh; ls -al" /> <echo message="== did config stick after adding a next cmd ==" /> <echo message="== see if problem is user in folder when executing chmod ==" /> <echo message="== remove ^Ms from ${target.fldr.path}/Workbooks/scripts/Depl oymentScripts ==" /> <- misnomer here, running sshexec with ls -al <sshexec host="${target.server}" username="${target.user}" password="${targe t.password}" failonerror="true" trust="true" output="${target.log}" append="true " command="cd ${target.fldr.path}/Workbooks/scripts/DeploymentScripts; ls -al"/> <echo message="== remove ^Ms from ${target.fldr.path}/Workbooks/scripts/Depl oymentScripts ==" /> <sshexec host="${target.server}" username="${target.user}" password="${targe t.password}" failonerror="true" trust="true" output="${target.log}" append="true " command="${target.fldr.path}/Workbooks/scripts/DeploymentScripts/remove_contro lM.ksh ksh" /> And a sample of the output: [echo] == make scripts executable at /tmp/bcydeploy/D2/01_Config/Workbooks/scripts/DeploymentScripts == [sshexec] Connecting to servername:22 [sshexec] total 24 <- ls before chmod [sshexec] drwxr-xr-x 2 user group 256 Jan 07 09:57 .
