Well, since all the <vssget> task does is provide a wrapper for the VSS command-line client (ss.exe), your script will fail on any machine without this client, be it Windows or Unix. You first need to find a command-line VSS client that works on Linux, and modify the <vssget> task to use this new client instead of ss.exe. Or you could use the <exec> task with this new client instead of <vssget> on the Linux box. Personally I have never used a command line VSS client on any flavor of Unix, but Google returned the following, which may be of use to you:

Hello, I have an ant script running under Win XP that accesses VSS using the vssget task. Now I want to be able to run the script under Linux, accessing VSS if possible. I have found some documentation online regarding Wine, but is this the only way to go? It seems like I then need to mount the VSS server as a drive to the linux machine, which isn't feasible in my work environment. Any other suggestions? thanks Chad --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
