Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with all examples and instructions using PowerShell and Windows-style paths (e.g., D:\examplefiles). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents provided for file creation, folder paths, or hybrid worker setup. The only method shown for triggering the watcher is via PowerShell, and the runbooks referenced are PowerShell scripts. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, who must adapt the instructions and scripts themselves.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent examples for Linux/macOS environments, such as using Bash to create test files and referencing Unix-style paths (e.g., /home/examplefiles).
- Clarify whether hybrid runbook workers can run on Linux, and if so, provide setup instructions and examples.
- Include notes or sections on adapting PowerShell runbooks for cross-platform compatibility, or offer Bash/Python alternatives where possible.
- Explicitly mention any platform limitations (e.g., if watcher tasks only work on Windows hybrid workers) at the start of the article.
- Show Linux/macOS commands alongside PowerShell commands when demonstrating how to trigger watcher tasks.
