Running shell script from Activiti

[alexbt]

What is the best way to run a ksh or bash script (instead of a Java class) from within a script task?
Or the only way is to wrap it with a Java class and use ProcessBuilder to run ksh/bash script?
Maybe it's better to use Groovy to start ksh/bash script?
Any ideas?

One more question. Can I use jython instead of Groovy as a script implementation?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

we had a simple internal poc, nothing advanced/production ready but the internal project 'stopped'  unfortunately. Not sure if I can find the code…

Just for future probable readers. The feature is implemented.

is there a new one or some specs on the matter?

The shell task was implemented and is part of the engine. Check the user guide for more info.
