Hi Marcello,

Try the String[].execute() variation, e.g.:

['su', '-', username, 'bash', '-c', 'svn checkout ...'].execute()

Cheers,
Merlyn

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
