Hi Eric, In *nix shells, your shell will load one or more of several different startup files. Which one is loaded by bash depends on what type of a process you are running the script as. One file is run only when you are logging in (bash runs ".bash_profile", or, if it is not present, ".profile"). The login environment should also run "/etc/profile" for you when you login.
Your system doesn't seem to be running bash when you ssh in to run a script. That's why you have to run "bash" when you login. It may be running sh, ksh, csh or something else, in which case the startup files used will have different names. You also should look at ".bashrc", which is run by every command that is started up by the system. In fact, it may be run by the system for your script when you ssh in to run a command. ".bashrc" probably runs "/etc/rc" as well. Example page from googling for "bash startup files": - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/6.3/postlfs/profile.html Simon has a good idea - run the specific commands you need when you run a script over ssh. Because of my experience with bash, I would write a bash script to set up the environment and then call ant from that script, but you can certainly do it in ant.
