hi all ,
i have a shell script that performs all the steps required for deployment of a tar file ..
there is a tool that helps me in finding out what files should go in that tar file... this tool is fully in xml as it invokes ant ( a build tool in java )....
i want to invoke that xml file from a shell script ... can anyone please tell me whether it is possible for to invoke an xml file from a shell script...

thanks

Invoking an XML file from a shell script does not make any sense since an XML file is not an executable.

It sounds to me like you are looking for a tool to parse the XML file and perform actions based on the contents of the XML file. Is this correct?
