BigInsights Example KnoxShell on Windows

Question

Trying to use the KnoxShell example from Windows (using Cmder as shell emulator). When executing the following command, the shell locks, no prompt available and nothing happend. I can only close Shell.

Is that specific to Windows?

λ gradlew.bat -q --no-daemon shell

I have tried the example on a Windows machine and it also hangs for me.

I have updated the README to state that this example does not support Windows and also added some logic to the build script to abort the example if it is being run on a Windows machine.
