Can Jenkins work to execute a shell or a Windows command conditionally based on the operator’s operating system?

Question

I am trying to create a task that will execute a program for remote agents. The program is exe when the agent is in Windows or the shell script when it is in Linux. The program is already deployed on agents. I am looking for a solution that would allow me to conditionally run exe (Windows executable command line) or the shell (Execute shell) depending on the operating environment of the agent.

So far, I have discovered that there is a plug-in for the conditions of execution ( https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Run+Condition+Plugin ), which would be great, unfortunately, it does not have validation for the operating system the operator.

Is there any way to do this? Google doesn't tell me anything.

Find something that works:

• Add a conditional build step - one or more.
• In run? Select "Execute Shell" and enter the echo "IsShell" command
• Provide Linux command-line commands as steps to start if the condition is met.
• Add one more step of conditional construction - one or more.
• In run? Condition Select "Run Windows Command Commands" and enter the echo command "IsWindows"
• Providing Windows command commands as steps to run if the condition is met.
