How to pass argument from gradle exec task to commandline

I'm trying to hook up a bat and sh file (depending on the OS being run on) with the gradle exec task. But I'm unable to figure out how to send an argument to bat/sh from the exec task. 

task testing(type:Exec) {
    workingDir '.'

    if (System.properties['os.name'].toLowerCase().contains('windows')) {
        if ( project.hasProperty("arg1") ) {
            println arg1
            args arg1
            commandLine 'cmd', '/c', 'run.bat'
        }else{
            commandLine 'cmd', '/c', 'run.bat'
        }
   }else {
        if ( project.hasProperty("arg1") ) {
            args arg1
            commandLine './run.sh'
        }else{
            commandLine './run.sh'
        }
   }
}

If I run this task as : gradle testing -Parg1=test, in println arg1, it prints test

But how do I pass on this test as argument to the bat/sh file.
