I have some hardware components I'm looking to test in a semi-automated 
fashion. This will involve procedural steps similar to:

   1. Prompt user to connect signal A to connector J1
   2. After user confirms this is in place, automatically check for 
   successful signal detection

I have experience writing such tests using bash, python, etc. I have also 
used Jenkins to manage builds and automated tests. What I would like to do 
(if possible) is combine the two somehow and use Jenkins to manage running 
of an interactive script on a test computer. This would allow me to 
leverage Jenkins' ability to consistently spawn scripts on a test computer 
and archive artifacts and console output history indefinitely. The part I'm 
not sure about is how to allow a user to interact with a Jenkins job that 
is in progress. Does anyone have any experience with this or know if it is 
possible? 

This is on a Linux system, so maybe I can run it in a 'screen' session that 
the user could attach to? 
Thanks,
Kyle
