I am having a hard time connecting a windows XP slave to a jenkins build system. Builds currently take place on linux, unix, and windows 7.
I successfully installed the JNLP option as a service, as is working for windows 7. However it is unreliable, sometimes won't start, and after a day or two it disconnects from the system (only xp has this problem). ssh to my linux slaves works great! Why can't ssh to windows slave work? It seems to be the most reliable. But how can I configure ssh to connect to the WINDOWS command prompt, not EMULATED LINUX shell? I am using the cygwin ssh server, and there don't seem to be many other free options. Alternatively, I've considered how to run a command in cygwin that would expose the underlying windows command-line environment, but I don't know enough about windows to make "system calls" from within cygwin, much less what these calls need to be. If I had enough time I would consider writing my own ssh server, correctly so none of these issues exist. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
