When adding a host with agent push mode, the final "Test connection" step of the agent install slideout displayed cmk-agent-ctl status regardless of operating system. On Windows the binary is not in PATH, so the bare command failed.

The displayed status command is now operating-system aware. On Windows it uses the full path matching the registration step ("C:\Program Files (x86)\checkmk\service\cmk-agent-ctl.exe" status, prefixed with & when PowerShell is selected). On Linux, Solaris and AIX the command remains cmk-agent-ctl status.
