Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux command line examples for running tasks, but Windows examples (cmd.exe) are shown first. In the 'Start task' section, Windows-specific tools like 'robocopy', 'MSI', and 'setup.exe' are mentioned as typical usage patterns, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives suggested. This may create friction for Linux users who need to adapt these instructions to their environment.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples, or present them side-by-side to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • In sections mentioning Windows tools (e.g., 'robocopy', 'MSI', 'setup.exe'), also mention common Linux alternatives such as 'cp', 'rsync', '.deb/.rpm installers', or shell scripts.
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS examples for file copying, application installation, and other setup tasks in the 'Start task' section.
  • Add a note clarifying that tool choice depends on the OS of the compute node, and link to OS-specific guidance where available.
