Package org.gradle.api.tasks

## Class Exec

- java.lang.Object
- - org.gradle.api.internal.AbstractTask
  - - org.gradle.api.DefaultTask
    - - org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask
      - - org.gradle.api.tasks.AbstractExecTask<Exec>
        - - org.gradle.api.tasks.Exec

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `java.lang.Comparable<Task>`, `org.gradle.api.internal.DynamicObjectAware`, `org.gradle.api.internal.IConventionAware`, `org.gradle.api.internal.TaskInternal`, `ExtensionAware`, `Task`, `BaseExecSpec`, `ExecSpec`, `ProcessForkOptions`, `Configurable<Task>`

      @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', '/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()
         }
       }
