I got rid of the "*" and it still didn't work...
I've tried two ways:
<exec executable="ls" failonerror="True">
<arg value="-l" />
</exec>
and
<exec executable="/usr/bin/ls" failonerror="True">
<arg value="-l" />
</exec>
I am using /urs/bin/ls because when I ask UNIX "whereis ls" it gave me
ls: /usr/bin/ls /usr/ucb/ls /usr/man/man1/ls.1 /usr/man/man1b/ls.1b
The error message is the same as before (in both cases):
[exec] Current OS is SunOS
[exec] /usr/bin/ls -l
BUILD FAILED

Is there something that I am missing here?
Thanks a lot!
