We have a wrapper around ProcessBuilder for running shell commands called
Shell (see o.a.h.u.Shell). The reason for this wrapper is better output and
error handling for shell commands. Almost all the needs are
addressed by this wrapper and it also provides a common and a consistent
way to run shell commands whenever needed.
