fail on telnet task

[Mark Lybarger <Ma...@CBC-Companies.com>]

i have a target which runs the ant telnet task to execute a remote shell script. right now, the only way i can figure out how to fail the ant task is if it hits a timeout waiting for the a read that doesn't get there.  is there a way for the telnet task to capture the schell script exit status and act upon it?

below are the task(s) and shell script i'm using.  if i run the status target with the timeout in the status.test target, the status target doesn't execute because the command times out. i realize the "Done" is never echoed.

		<write>cd test</write>
		<read>$</read>
		<write>bash ./statustest.sh 1</write>
		<read>Done</read>
	</telnet>
  </target>
  
  <target name="status" depends="status.test" description="main testus target">
  	<echo>checked the status</echo>
  </target>
