I've not configured a master/slave from windows to linux, but when setting up your slave it should deploy the necessary slave.jar etc onto your slave machine, and start them automatically. I assume you're launching via ssh and have specified some or all of the
Host Username Password Private Key File Port Does the slave node run? Before you try running the build job? It should run on the slave and not require ssh to run your commands. dD From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of ycollet Sent: 27 August 2013 07:16 To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: how to configure a jenkins slave node Hello, I've got some questions related to the configuration of a jenkins slave node (I already dig into the wiki and I have a nearly working duo master / slave). The first one: do I need to install jenkins on the slave node or do the master will copy all the required jar files into the good directory when the jenkins slave is started up ? The second one: do I need to turn on some special options in my sshd config file ? Because, up to now, I was not able to perform a checkout on my slave (I can connect to the slave via ssh, I can perform a manual checkout on the slave, but the checkout doesn't seems to work via jenkins). The work around I found is to use a pre build ssh command to create the working copy. The last one: for the build step, I first selected "use a shell script" and add my cmake + make commands in. But it doesn't work. The only solution I found is to use a ssh command. Best regards, YC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
