public class Exec
extends org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask
implements ExecSpec

Executes a command line process. Example:

 task stopTomcat(type:Exec) {
   workingDir = file('../tomcat/bin')

   //on windows:
   commandLine = ['cmd', '/c', 'stop.bat']

   //on linux (oh yeah!!!)
   commandLine = ['./stop.sh']
 }
