Subject: AW: Stopping an ant target


The simplest thing which comes into my mind is (if the monitor is your own
work)
monitor an additional file, the "heartbeat file".
- When the monitor application starts it generates the file and monitors its
existence
- When it ends, it deletes the file
- If the monitor app recognizes that the file is deleted (by external
programs)
  it stops
