Restarting Tomcat with Ant

Hi,
I used the following configuration:

<property name="TOMCAT" location="/usr/local/tomcat"/>

<target name="stop-tomcat">

<exec dir="${TOMCAT}/bin/" executable="shutdown.sh" />

</target>
but it failed. Told me it cannot find the shell script.

Could anyone please suggest why this is happening?

<exec executable> specifies what command to run.

<exec dir> specifies where the command should be run. But it does NOT
specify where the executable should be found.

You could try <exec resolveexecutable|searchpath>.

BUT *.sh are not commands that could be run by the operating system.
These
files are run by a command shell.
http://ant.apache.org/faq.html#batch-shell-execute

Try
  <exec executable="sh">
    <arg value="-c"/>
    <arg value="${TOMCAT}/bin/shutdown.sh"/>
  </exec>
