HI , I have two machines one is build and the other is server. Both are linux machine. I writing one ant script which will call the shell script present in remote box(server) where my jboss instances running. My shell scripts contains the commands to stop the jboss. When I am running the shell script in the remote box I am able to stop and start the server. But when I am trying to run the shellscript from build machine via ant script using execssh task I am getting the following exception [sshexec] Connecting to bangepcnt2:22 [sshexec] Warning: -Xms512m not understood.
