When the batch file is finished, ANT can go on, or does the batch file start ther servers asynchron?

What you can do is a kind of polling with Ant. I used the following using antcontrib. I start an asynchron server and have to check if the server is started. Therfore I use the following:

<waitfor maxwait="5" maxwaitunit="minute"
         checkevery="500" checkeveryunit="millisecond"
            timeoutproperty="noserverfound">
      <socket port="${port}" server="localhost"/>
   </waitfor>

So if your serverstartprocess starts a process at a defined address, you can check it.

Thanks for the reply JK.

Yeah I know that it is not the default behaviour of exec or sshexec task.

I am using exec to start my batch file execution, that batch file actually reboots certain machines now I want to wait until all of those machines get rebooted.

For that I feel I need to make ANT execution wait for that batch file execution to get complete. Any idea that apart from using some kind of time out what else I can do to achieve that.
