Summary
The documentation exclusively provides examples using Windows tools (cmd.exe), with all code snippets invoking 'cmd.exe /c echo ...' for task commands. There are no Linux or macOS shell examples (e.g., bash), nor any mention of cross-platform command patterns. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., 'bash -c "echo Flowers"') alongside Windows examples in all code snippets.
- Explicitly mention that the task command can be any shell supported by the compute node OS, and provide guidance for both Windows and Linux pools.
- Clarify that 'cmd.exe' is specific to Windows nodes, and suggest using '/bin/bash' or '/bin/sh' for Linux nodes.
- Include a section or note on cross-platform task command authoring, highlighting differences and best practices.
