start/stop java app from antinstaller

[Kurt Stam]

Hi guys,

I have an ant task that executes a start/stop script on linux (to start and start the appserver):

<exec executable="sudo" os="Linux" dir="." logerror="true" >
    <arg value="/etc/rc.d/init.d/jboss"/>
      <arg value="start"/>
</exec>

When executed straight from ant this works fine, however when executed from antinstaller
it echo's all the same printout when executing the script, but the appserver does not actually
get started.

Is there an issue with spawning a new JVM? Am I missing something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx,

-Kurt

Hi Kurt,
Is it possible that sudo is not in the PATH at the point you do your exec?

Cheers,
