I'm trying to launch a separate process from Ant (call Weblogic's startup
script, startWebLogic.sh) in a new window, and have the original window run
in parallel.
This is no problem within Win2000. I use the exec task to call "start" to
launch a new window and give it the command line parameters for
startWebLogic.cmd
When trying to use the exec task for Linux, I can't accomplish the same
thing. I've tried various different methods (xterm, sh) but without success.
I can get a new terminal launched and weblogic runs, but the originating
terminal waits for weblogic to complete before continuing.
I haven't been able to figure out a way to correctly do this and I was
hoping somebody else had. As a last resort, people have suggested I call
"java" and then use "fork" to return control back to Ant.
Any suggestions?
