http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15804 execute tasks as a specified user Summary: execute tasks as a specified user Product: Ant Version: 1.5.1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Unix or Linux system, some operations, like installation, can only be done by user root, and it would be unwise to run the entire ANT script as root because of these operations. In some cases, we need to run the same ANT script under different users due to permission. It will be great if ANT can provide a tag so that tasks within the tag will be executed under the user specified. For example, <context user="xyz"> <!-- tasks will be executed by userid xyz --> </context> Of course, authentication mechanism is required and I'll let you figure this out. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
