Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply. I reviewed all options that you have mentioned. I am 
trying to write a system groovy script for my use case. But there seems not 
many resources available in the internet for groovy. I am stuck in place 
where I want to trigger downstream job (in Windows or in Linux) depending 
on environment variable from TestLink (which I am able to work with). I 
dont have any idea so far how can i trigger build in remote machines using 
groovy script.

Any ideas on that or any other resource that you know might help??
