Hi,

Gradle 1.0 Java 1.7u11

I have this:

```gradle
[jettyRun, jettyStop]*.stopPort = 8081
[jettyRun, jettyStop]*.stopKey = 'w00t'
  test {
    doFirst {
        jettyRun.daemon = true
                                                                                                                                                                                                                       jettyRun.execute()
    }
       doLast {
        jettyStop.execute()
    }
   }

```

Yet, when I run tests (which complete successfully), I find I’m still left with the daemon process running, i.e.,:

```gradle
$ lsof -i tcp:8080
 COMMAND
 PID
USER
 FD
 TYPE
DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java
  17176 david
226u
IPv4 1995504
    0t0
TCP *:http-alt (LISTEN)

```

Perhaps I’m doing something incorrect?

You’re doing it right. I’m guessing you see this when running Gradle in daemon mode.

Take a look at: [http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2263](http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2263)
