Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing PowerShell examples for updating the Mobility Service agent, detailing Windows-specific tools (Control Panel, MsiExec.exe, VSS provider scripts) and presenting Windows instructions before Linux equivalents. Linux update instructions are less detailed, lacking command-line examples for agent updates, and manual update guidance is generic rather than Linux-specific.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples for updating the Mobility Service agent, such as using shell scripts or package managers.
  • Include Linux-specific instructions for manual updates, detailing commands for common distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, RHEL, SUSE).
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel sections or side-by-side, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemctl, rpm, deb) where relevant, especially for installation, update, and uninstallation steps.
  • Offer PowerShell alternatives for Linux (such as Bash scripts) and clarify cross-platform automation options.
