Need a way to get process-id for <exec..> task

           Summary: Need a way to get process-id for <exec..> task
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


We cannot get a process id using existing ant tasks. Can we have exec task give 
us a process id back [for eg. if i run a batch file or something which will 
remain live untill i forcibily kill it.] In this case i might be able to get 
the process id provided by exec task and kill it. Also can we have a stop/kill 
process task [It can be a new one or enhancements to existing tasks.]
Why i need it?
I have a email spanning tool which runs on one mailbox (monitoring all incoming 
emails). When a user send an email with required properties to send email, i 
need to capture all the process information for future reference. If at some 
time if the user thinks that he longer needs the spam, he can send another mail 
to stop it. We can just kill his spamming process.

Thanks...
