Re: 3.0 Is it possible to execute console commands from shell tasks?

Thanks,
exec did not do exactly what I needed since I need live feedback with the ability to respond to prompts.
I did manage to solve it with popen.
If anyone else needs this, here is how I resolved it.

$cwd = ROOT;
$cmds = [ "cd $cwd", "grunt update" ]; //Array of commands to execute
$cmd = implode(' && ', $cmds);
while (@ ob_end_flush());
$proc = popen($cmd, 'r');
while (!feof($proc)){
  echo fread($proc, 4096);
  @ flush();
}

you can use the php exec() function.

Here is a simple scenario.
I have a shell script in the App\Shell namespace.
When I run the task I would like to have some console commands such as `grunt update` triggered.
Is it possible to run these types of commands from the ConsoleShell?
Some of these tasks may require user input thus it cannot be run without feedback from the user.
