Without seeing the batch file, it is hard to say. Is it possible that your
batch file is hanging for path or timeout reasons? (BTW. I don't think the
timeout on exec actually works.)
Here is a simple sample I created to test with.
----echo.cmd----
@echo off
echo Command Line Args:
FOR %%a IN (%*) DO echo %%a
---cmd.build---
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project name="cmd" >
<property name="sqlserver.name" value="localhost\VSdotNET"/>
<property name="database.name" value="Reference"/>
<exec
verbose="true"
basedir="."
program="echo.cmd"
commandline="${sqlserver.name} ${database.name}"
timeout="30"
/>
</project>
I tested with the current version of nant that is in cvs.
The output was:
bin\nant -buildfile:c:\temp\cmd.xml
Buildfile: file:///c:/temp/cmd.xml
[exec] c:\temp\echo.cmd localhost\VSdotNET Reference
[exec] c:\temp>c:\temp\echo.cmd localhost\VSdotNET Reference
Command Line Args:
localhost\VSdotNET
Reference
BUILD SUCCEEDED
Total time: 0 seconds
