@DisableCachingByDefault(because="Gradle would require more information to cache this task") public abstract class Exec extends AbstractExecTask<Exec>
Executes a command line process. Example: 
task stopTomcat(type:Exec) {
  workingDir '../tomcat/bin'

  //on windows:
  commandLine 'cmd.exe', '/d', '/c', 'stop.bat'

  //on linux
  commandLine './stop.sh'

  //store the output instead of printing to the console:
  standardOutput = new ByteArrayOutputStream()

  //extension method stopTomcat.output() can be used to obtain the output:
  ext.output = {
    return standardOutput.toString()
  }
}
