[Buildbot-devel] accessing force scheduler values in ShellCommand

[Jürgen Schulz-Brüssel]

Hi,

thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for. I was already 
subclassing ShellCommand. I was not aware that self.build is available 
there. Sometimes it is a little bit hard to find the intended way since 
so few examples are available. Documentation became really better the 
last years, but more examples would be so helpful!

Best
     Jürgen
