The ant manual for the exec task:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/exec.html
talks about the spawn attribute. Here is the description:
whether or not you want the command to be spawned
Default is false.
If you spawn a command, its output will not be logged by ant.
The input, output, error, and result property settings are not active
when spawning a process.
since Ant 1.6
Try:
<exec executable="/bin/bash" spawn="true">
<arg line='-c "runprocess.sh > out.out 2 > err.txt < /dev/null &"'
/>
</exec>
<echo> "Done............."</echo>
Hope this helps,
