The nant <exec> task currently doesn't support starting a process and then continuing in parallel (If this were available, it would be useful to have a <join> task which waited for process completion...). One way you can do what you need is to create two small programs... the first program will execute and divorce your Server.exe process (Divorce == ensure that Server.exe will continue to run after your bootstrap program has terminated. I don't know if doing this requires anything special in .Net) The second program will find and terminate the server process. An alternative to do this is to set up your Server.exe as a service, and use the service tasks in NAnt to update the service from the new build, then start and stop the server: http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/help/tasks/regsvcs.html http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/help/tasks/servicecontroller.html -T Disclaimer Message: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual(s) named.
