umask from ant
I don't get it, I do the following and it crashes:
<exec executable="umask">
<arg value="0002"/>
</exec>
Anyone have a clue why that would be? I'm on redhat 5.5 (Tikanga). I can type umask 0002 on the command line all day long... Here's the error:
/app/rosstr/test.xml:5: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "umask": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory
Thanks,
Eric

Umask is a shell command, not a standalone binary. So you will need to
invoke your shell to run umask. Something like
<exec executable="/bin/bash">
<arg line="-c umask 0222" />
</exec>

Thanks everyone, moved over to chmod.

Problem is: This will work, but won't work as expected. The umask it
is setting is a process property, and the whole point of it being
a builtin to the shell is that that is the only way it can affect
other commands at all.
As it is above it will just set the umask of the shell running
int the <exec>, and nothing more.

Which might be a problem on some systems, as sometimes umask is a
built-in shell command.
Commands to find out where umask is: "which umask", "type umask".
Even if it is built in to the shell, it may still be available as an
executable on your system. Try looking in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, and
/usr/sbin.
If you still can't find it, change the executable to start your shell
and tell it to execute the umask command. Something like this:
<exec executable="/bin/sh">
<arg value="-c" />
<arg value="umask" />
<arg value="0002" />
</exec>

Looks like it needs the full path to the executable.
