+ <title>Ant-contrib Tasks: Forget</title>
+ </head>
+
+ <body>
+ <h1>Forget</h1>
+
+ <p>The Forget task will execute a set of tasks sequentially as a background
+ thread. Once the thread is started, control is returned to the calling
+ target. This is useful in being able to kick off a background server process,
+ such as a webserver. This allows you to not have to use the <code>parallel</code>
+ task to start server processes.</p>
+
+ <h2>Parameters</h2>
+ <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
+ <tr>
+ <th>Attribute</th>
+ <th>Description</th>
+ <th>Required</th>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top">daemon</td>
+ <td valign="top">Should the created thread be a daemon thread. That is,
+ should the ANT program be allowed to exit if the thread is still
+ running.</td>
+ <td align="center" valign="top">No. Defaults to true.</td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+
+
+ <h2>Example</h2>
+
+
+ The following code
+
+ <pre>
+ <code>
+ &lt;forget&gt;
+ &lt;exec executeable="${env.CATALINA_HOME}/bin/catalina.bat}"&gt;
+ &lt;arg line="start -security" /&gt;
+ &lt;/exec&gt;
+ &lt;/forget&gt;
+
+ &lt;waitfor maxwait="1" maxwaitunit="minute"
+ checkevery="100" checkeveryunit="millisecond"&gt;
+ &lt;http url="http://localhost:8080" /&gt;
+ &lt;/waitfor&gt;
+
+ </code>
+ </pre>
+
+ Would start the Tomcat webserver as a background process, then waiting
+ for the server to become available.
