Try running the echo command but define the actual path to the tmp.txt file.
Example: echo "Hello" > /var/tmp/tmp.txt From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Mitchell Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 3:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Simple Execute Shell fails to execute, Jenkins reports success Hi, I am having getting Jenkins to communicate with the nodes. I am using Jenkins 1.466 on a linux machine. It is capable of logging in (notes from the web gui, as well as monitoring the connection via another SSH session), but when I try to execute the following shell script: echo "Hello" > ~/tmp.txt Jenkins reports it is as a success: Started by timer Building remotely on node in workspace /u/auser/jenkins_bc/workspace/Test Job [Test Job] $ /bin/csh -xe /var/tmp/hudson59733.sh Finished: SUCCESS But when I check, ~/tmp.txt does not exist, nor do any other simple Linux commands (echo "Hello"; ls -l, etc) print any output to the console. They simply don't appear to be being executed. Is there any place I can look to find more information about why this test is not being executed or what exactly is going on? Thanks for the help, Chris
