How to use ANT to start TestComplete

I will do automation test by using TestComplete and I want to use ANT to create some target.

So my question is that I want to create a target in build.xml of ANT, in the target, I want to start TestComplete.exe



<target name="runTEProjects">

    <exec executable="C:\Program Files\Automated QA\TestComplete 8\Bin\TestComplete.exe">

         <arg value="start"/>

      <arg value="/wait"/>

      <arg value="D:\MyProject\MyProject.pjs"/>

      <agr value="/run"/>

      <agr value="/exit"/>

    </exec>

</target>



But it can not work, so I want to know whether ANT can identify TestComplete and how to create the target?



Thanks!

    Your last two argument calls are misspelled.  See what happens if you correct those from "agr" to "arg"

    Hi,



    I just change the agr to arg, and I ran again, it still cannot work, it cannot call TestComplete.



    Thanks!

    Hi,



    Now ANT can call TestComplete, it works well.

    I found there were some parameter wrong in build.xml, it was my fault.

    I will be careful.



    Thanks!

    Function: use ANT to call TC

    My build.xml

    <project name="AutomatedCoverage" basedir=".">

        <property name="TestComplete.home" value="C:\Program Files\Automated QA\TestComplete 8\Bin"/>



        <target name="runTCProjects">

            <exec executable="${TestComplete.home}\TestComplete.exe">

             <arg value="start"/>

              <arg value="/wait"/>

              <arg value="D:\MyProject\MyProject.pjs"/>

               <arg value="/run"/>

              <arg value="/exit"/>

            </exec>

       </target> 

    </project>



    And I have a question, on the above project, TC just could run one project one time, and I want to know wether TC could run several project suits one time?
