Hi Eric, Since builduser has bash as the default shell, you will be in the bash shell.
You can do some testing. Remember that you can probably run ssh from the host. ssh -f builduser@buildMachine "echo Computername is set to: $COMPUTERNAME" I think the script is assuming that HOSTNAME is already set on Linux boxes. Put the following 5 lines in a script file on your host - I took most of it from your command line. #!/bin/bash . ~/.bash_profile export HOSTNAME=`hostname` cd /app/rosstr/build /opt/apache-ant-1.7.1/bin/ant -f build.xml -Dfull.buildnumber=3.0.2.8 I have made a couple of assumptions here. Make sure that you get the machine name from: ssh -f builduser@buildMachine hostname Line 3 sets the HOSTNAME variable, which should work. If not, try setting COMPUTERNAME. You need to make the script executable - just in case you don't know, if the script is called "ant.start", the command would be: chmod a+x ant.start And you would run it with: ssh -f builduser@buildMachine ant.start Hope this helps, Rob -----Original Message----- From: Eric Fetzer [mailto:elstonk...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 10:10 AM To: Ant Users List Cc: Ant Users List Subject: Re: Build directly on machine vs. SSH to machine and start build Bash is this user's default shell.
