-----------------------------------------------------------
It turns out that the presence of `/bin/sh -c` is essential for commands that
involve wildcards, as you can read about in the third question here:
http://trac.buildbot.net/wiki/FAQ.
That FAQ suggests specifying commands as a string rather than a list of
strings. Does this work as a solution for you?

> shellCmd and shellRunParam in master.cfg use values for master, fails on

> Key: CB-6909
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6909
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Medic, Windows 8, WP8
> Environment: OS X master, buildbot 0.8.8, Windows Server 2012R2
> slave, buildslave 0.8.8
> Reporter: Vladimir Kotikov
> Assignee: Max Woghiren
> Labels: medic, windows8, wp8

> shellCmd and shellRunCmd are defined in master.cfg and used for a lot of the
> build tasks. But the value depends on the OS of the master, so if you have a
> OS X master and Windows client (or vice versa) a lot of steps will fail.
> {noformat}
> shellCmd="/bin/sh"
> shellRunParam="-c"
> if is_Windows :
> shellCmd="cmd"
> shellRunParam="/c"
> {noformat}
> For some steps, like in wp8 and windows8 sections, we know they'll always run
> on Windows so we could always use 'cmd'. But in common sections or for a
> platform like android, it needs to work on both.
> -----
> It seems that ShellCommand step already uses command interpreter according to
> slave platform (see
> http://docs.buildbot.net/current/manual/cfg-buildsteps.html#step-ShellCommand).
> So it's safe to remove this and specify commands for ShellCommand steps just
> with list of strings.
> Another possible issue is different path delimiter on windows and other
> platforms. But in most cases slash instead of backslash works fine on
> windows. So it is possible to replace '\\' to '/' in windows build steps.
