Answer 1

Could it be that psexec is waiting for a user entry? In this case hudson will hang.

Does Hudson runs with your user credentials? if not lunch a command Prompt with the credentials Hudson is running with and see what happens if you call psexec. If hudson runs on the local system account, you can't start a command prompt with it. Than try to run Hudson with your credentials and see what happens.

BTW, did you check Hudsons log files (just in case that there might be something)?

Answer 2

Hi,

I had the same problem where PSEXEC simply hung.

The solution i found (after trawling for AGES) was to add the parameter -accepteula to the PSEXEC called. Hudson stopped hanging after that.

Very frustrating.
