I'm trying to automate a server bootstrap for different users the following
from a Gradle: 

The following command is executed by Root once the OS is installed and
managed by each user: 

su - $username bash -c "svn checkout
http://programming-artifacts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
/workspaces/$username/pa" 

where $username is the user being setup... So if you try this in the shell,
it executes as expected... I was trying to execute this command without
"bash -c", but it will result in "cannot execute binary file"
(http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.unix.programmer/2008-12/msg00221.html)...

/usr/bin/svn: /usr/bin/svn: cannot execute binary file

Here's now the gradle/groovy script using GString... I have also tried
single quotes and the same problem happens...

---------- setup.gradle --------- 

task checkout() << { 

   def username = "jsurfer" 
   def checkout = """su - $username bash -c "svn checkout
http://programming-artifacts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
/workspaces/$username/pa"""" 
   println "Checking out: $checkout" 
   def proc = checkout.execute() 

   proc.waitFor() 
   println "Output code ${proc.exitValue()}" 
   println "stderr: ${proc.err.text}" 
   println "stdout: ${proc.in.text}" 

} 
---------------------- 

Here's how I'm executing... 
[root@localhost]# gradle -b setup.gradle checkout 

Here's the error 

Checking out: su - jsurfer bash -c "svn checkout
http://programming-artifacts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
/workspaces/jsurfer/pa" 
Output code 2 
stderr: bash: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' 
bash: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file 

stdout: 

BUILD SUCCESSFUL 
Total time: 1.355 secs 

Any clues? 
thanks 
Marcello
