Summary
The documentation is strongly biased 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, directory paths, or hybrid worker setup. The only scripting language mentioned is PowerShell, and the runbooks referenced are PowerShell-based, with no Bash or Python alternatives. The instructions for triggering watcher tasks explicitly require remoting into a worker and using PowerShell commands, which may not be directly applicable to Linux/macOS hybrid workers.
Recommendations
- Add Linux/macOS examples for file creation (e.g., using 'touch ExampleFile1.txt' in Bash).
- Clarify whether hybrid runbook workers can run on Linux, and if so, provide setup and usage instructions for non-Windows environments.
- Include notes on path formats for Linux/macOS (e.g., '/home/examplefiles' instead of 'D:\examplefiles').
- Offer alternative runbook examples using Bash or Python, if supported.
- Explicitly state any platform limitations for watcher tasks and hybrid runbook workers.
