<exec> problem

[Guy Catz]

Hi.

I want to run an exec and I want its output to be directed to /dev/null.
But, when I run "myexec -r -a > /dev/null" I get an error saying that the engine tried to run 3 lines -
myexec -r -a
>
/dev/null

and not all in one line.

How can I make it happened? I'm using the <exec> task.

Thanks.

Have you tried

(untested)

<exec executable="myexec>
  <arg value="-r" />
  <arg value="-a" />
</exec>
<exec executable="mv">
  <arg value="yourOutput" />
  <arg value="/dev/null" />
</exec>
