Thank you for the response sebb the -X definitely is a much nicer way of stopping jmeter-server then my kill -9. The problem with starting jmeter-server with a script is if I use ssh to start it jmeter-server will not start as a background process so the script that I have to kick off all of the test cases sits there and waits for the response from ssh. I am playing with some different scenarios to try to get this to work with ssh, using setsid etc. But if anyone has already done this with a script, remotely start jmeter-server and has the code that would be great.

AFAIK, that would require OS-specific code as well as knowledge of login name and password. If you are familiar with the server OS facilities, you may be able to set something up using e.g. inetd which could listen on a suitable port. Otherwise just create a suitable remote shell command script. > Thanks, > > Chad > NOTICE: This message, including all attachments transmitted with it, is for the use of the addressee only.
