How can I call cmd from Kotlin script and store result/output in the variable?

ProcessBuilder ?

You might want to read the output in a thread if it's very long, I'm not sure sure how big the buffer is. But that always worked for me...

I had a similar need but didn't really enjoy my time with ProcessBuilder, so I decided to open-source my solution: https://github.com/pgreze/kotlin-process

That's a nice cleanup using your library. Thanks. https://github.com/yschimke/oksocial-output/pull/10
