Hi Grant, that would be an option, but during our work, Mike and me only activated the "start new build" button in the GUI, everything else was and had to be done in the shell: - Updating lucene's private SVN tools for the new lucene rev-based backwards branch (sparse checkout) - Upgrading hudson's clover version for our new coverage reports (that work correct with backwards branch) - Killing stuck builds (to get a stack trace you have to send a SIGHUP to the stuck JVM first)
You haven’t seen our IRC conversation between Mike and me where we did something like "human remote control" when changing our build scripts and so on. Something like "tell me whats in dir xyz", "hmm, ok then we have to.... Ah before tell me if solaris has a toolxy installed!", "yes", "ah then we can do pqrs first and tar this there". Funny, but worked, but took a day :-) On the other hand, you can always configure a job that runs with the Hudson account and does a "rm -rf /hudsoninstalldir" in it - so where is the security?
