Is there a way to quit out of the task if it hangs for too long of a time period? Here is my call to exec: executable="command.com" timeout="1"> I am calling this exec many times and sometimes it hangs on the first call. It successfully checks out all of the files and then never seems to return back to the build.xml. The timeout doesnt appear to do anything. I am using windows 98 so that is why I am using command.com. Any ideas on how to stop the exec from hanging? Thanks, -- George    More>>
