Description Michael Mason 2003-04-16 16:21:31 UTC 
The Ant telnet task doesn't support failing early if something goes wrong. What 
I wanted to do was run a script on a remote server, which finishes with "ok" if 
everything worked and "failed" if not. The remote script could take some time, 
which is why waiting for "ok" with a timeout wasn't quite good enough.

I've added code to TelnetTask which allows a new "failon" attribute for <read> 
elements. If the text in the attribute is read from the connection, the task 
fails. I use this to stop a build if deployment to a remote container fails.

I'll attach the patch (cvs -q diff -u) after creating the bug.
