How to execute just the command line task and not build the source code in bamboo?

[Subu baskaran]

I have a command line task that will kick off automated tasks. As a qa engineer, I dont have access to source code. I want to just test if bamboo is successfully able to kick off command line and execute my test scripts without needing to build the source code.

Most likely you are looking for the Bamboo Script task:

• You can execute inline or file based shell scripts on Linux or Windows, and specify arguments and environment variables (possibly injecting Bamboo variables in turn).
• The shell script's exit code determines the task result, i.e. return 0 do communicate success and any other value to communicate failure.

that's right, no need to define and use source code repositories
