http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30631 Need a way to get process-id for <exec..> task Summary: Need a way to get process-id for <exec..> task Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We cannot get a process id using existing ant tasks. Can we have exec task give us a process id back [for eg. if i run a batch file or something which will remain live untill i forcibily kill it.] In this case i might be able to get the process id provided by exec task and kill it. Also can we have a stop/kill process task [It can be a new one or enhancements to existing tasks.] Why i need it? I have a email spanning tool which runs on one mailbox (monitoring all incoming emails). When a user send an email with required properties to send email, i need to capture all the process information for future reference. If at some time if the user thinks that he longer needs the spam, he can send another mail to stop it. We can just kill his spamming process.
