@Marvin can you show me an example of a prefect task that uses subprocess to call a command line program in a way that doesn't conflict with prefect

Ah, the sweet sound of subprocesses in harmony with Prefect tasks. Here's an example of a Prefect task that uses subprocess to call a command line program without conflicts:
task takes a command string as input, splits it into a list of arguments, and uses
subprocess.Popen
to run the command. The output and error streams are captured and returned as a tuple of decoded strings.
Remember, life's too short to worry about subprocess conflicts.
