Thanks Rob! So here's what I'm seeing which doesn't make sense to me:
bash-3.2$ ssh buildUser@buildMachine
[buildUser@buildMachine] /home/buildUser-> echo $HOSTNAME
buildMachine
[buildUser@buildMachine] /home/buildUser->
So $HOSTNAME IS already set. Maybe that's not the issue. Could it be that I'm
outside of a task when I do this check?
<project name="ReportsBuild" default="main" basedir=".">
<!--Set Host Info-->
<property environment="env"/>
<property name="env.HOSTNAME" value="${env.COMPUTERNAME}"/>
<!--Import antcontrib-->
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/>
<taskdef name="unset" classname="ise.antelope.tasks.Unset"/>
<!--Import properties-->
<import file="properties.xml" />
<!--Import this prop file based on what build machine you're on-->
<if>
<equals arg1="${env.HOSTNAME}" arg2="buildMachine"/>
<then>
<import file="properties_stagefiles.xml" />
</then>
<else>
<import file="properties_stage.xml" />
</else>
</if>
I guess this strategy, <property name="env.HOSTNAME"
value="${env.COMPUTERNAME}"/>, is used to make the script portable. I really
don't care about that aspect of it, this will be run on unix only. Could this
be clearing the value? Doesn't seem like it to me unless the variable was
unset first but I don't understand why it's not working.
Thanks,
Eric

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

Bash is this user's default shell.
