sam2009 most likely error is your command line. you can paste your command line here if no concern or you can try a simple command to try. for example:  def cmd = "ls -la".execute()

 

// Here is an example (on windows) to call command (or shell)
// you can check it with zsh / bash command on your Mac

try {
    def cmd = "cmd /c cd /d \"${toolDir}\" & tool.exe \"${outputDir}\" \"${logDir}\" " 
    log.info(cmd)
    def output = cmd.execute()
    def out = new StringBuffer()
    def err = new StringBuffer()
    output.waitForProcessOutput(out, err)
    if (output.exitValue()) {
	log.error(err)
    } else {
	log.info(out)
    }
} catch(Exception e) {
    testRunner.fail("Cancelled!!! => $e")
}
