Just to add to that - make sure you set the timeout on the shell / ssh to unlimited otherwise it will time out

If its only a couple of hours, why not just run a shell step to ssh or whatever out to the hardware and test? A shell step normally blocks until completed, so the job will be in-progress until the tests are done. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Harris Sent: October-26-16 23:03 To: Jenkins Users Subject: Suggestions needed I'm trying to figure out a way to automate submitting a test to our hardware testbed and waiting for the test to complete so that the Jenkins job can report its status. Are either of the ideas below possible? Create a Jenkins job that submits the test (this is the easy part), waits until the job is informed the test is complete and then processes the results. The other idea I've had is to create a spool_test job that only spoils the test. When the test is complete it starts a complete_test job to process the results. Ultimately I'd like to have a regress_tests job that spools several tests. But I'm not sure with the second approach how to tell regress_tests that it's not done until all the complete_test jobs (that it doesn't directly start) are done.
