Hi again,
I have couple of questions:
<target name="stop-tomcat">
<!-- Executes remote command via ssh -->
<sshexec host="host0072.example.com" username="kaushal"
password="xxxxxx" trust="true"
command="sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat0 start" />
</target>
the password field is exposed here. is there a way to secure it. ?
Also when i run the command ant -lib lib/ stop-tomcat the string
"command="sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat start"" asks for password
again on the stdout. is there a way to handle this condition since i
need to start tomcat server as tomcat user.
Thanks and Regards,
Kaushal
