I m trying to call a PSExec task from CC.NET and running into some difficulties.
Here s the CC project
<project name="Test">
<tasks>
<exec>
<executable>C:Utilitiespsexec.exe</executable>
<buildArgs>-u [UNAME] -p [PWD] "C:UtilitiesJoel.bat"</buildArgs>
</exec>
</tasks>
</project>
Here s the source of Joel.bat
CLS
@ECHO OFF
What happens is that the first time I force the project to build, it runs successfully. The PSExec task is kicked off and the Joel.bat file is executed. I get some information in the build log about exit codes, but the task is successful.
Here s the build log output.
PsExec v1.97 - Execute processes remotely
Copyright (C) 2001-2009 Mark Russinovich

C:UtilitiesJoel.bat exited with error code 0.
The second time I force the build I get the dreaded "The Application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142)" error message. I can t ever run the build more than once
More so, if I try to shut down the cruise control .net service from within the services MSC, it can t. It s like there s a lock somewhere that is taken and not released. The only way I can kill the service is by killing the ccservices.exe process.
I ve tried the exact same thing using an nant task and gotten the exact same results. It works the first time, and fails the second and I can t shutdown the process.
I m not sure if this is an issue with CC.NET or with PSEXEC (or me of course).
Anybody got any ideas? I m posting to the CC.NET forums as well.
I m using the latest and greatest of PSExec and 1.4.4 of CC.NET.
Thx, Joel
