Description

text = InputStream.readText()
InputStream.eachLine

{ line | ... }
InputStream.withReader { reader | ... }
OutputStream.withwriter { writer | ... }

This would mean for process execution stuff we could do

process = "ls -l".execute()
process.outputStream.eachLine { line | ... }

process.errorStream.eachLine

{ line | ... }

In addition it'd be useful to have a helper method on Process

waitForOrKill(long timeout)

which would try wait for a certain period of time or kill the given process.

I hope you don't mind me assiging this one to you Guillaume, by all means assign it back to me or unassign it if you don't fancy doing it.
