[Buildbot-devel] Alternate shell on win32

[Tim Flink]

This is a little late, so I don't know if you found a solution but I 
thought I would post this anyways.

I was able to get "echo hello" on my winxp buildslave working using 
either of these statements in my master.cfg:

f.addStep( step.ShellCommand, command = [ 'echo', 'hello' ] )
f.addStep( step.ShellCommand, command =  'echo hello'  )

What version of buildbot and its dependencies are you using?

My buildslave is using:
WindowsXP SP2 (32-bit)
buildbot 0.7.5
Python 2.5 (python.org binary installer)
Twisted 2.5.0 (binary installer for Python 2.5 from twistedmatrix.com)
pywin32-2.1.0 (binary installer for Python 2.5 from sourceforge)

My buildmaster is using:
Fedora Core 6 (x86)
python-twisted 1.3.0 (from fedora yum repository)
buildbot 0.7.5
Python 2.4.4 (from fedora yum repository)
