Re: Facter 4 Does Not Support Built-In Windows Commands Hi Selvakumar Azhagarsami , just looking for a bit of clarification; are you asking for all "built-in" Windows commands support, or just specifically echo? Facter 3 had support for specifically echo, but other commands like dir would not work.

Re: Facter 4 Does Not Support Built-In Windows Commands Tony Vu for the benefit of this ticket, please fix it specifically the echo command but if you think fixing other windows command is feasible please proceed I will leave it up to you.

Change By: Tony Vu Release Notes: Bug Fix Release Notes Summary: Facter 3.x special-cased `echo` for windows to allow it to run using the built-in for a Windows shell; Facter 4 upgrade neglected to include this special case. This fix adds that special case back in.
