Launching slave.jar from the Console |
|---|
slave.jar is meant to be launched by Hudson, typically through a remote shell like ssh/rsh. Hudson master then communicates with this slave through stdin and stdout.
slave.jar is not meant to initiate a connection to the master on its own, so if you are trying to run it from cron or as a service, you are misunderstanding how this works. If you try and run it this way you will see the following error:
% java -jar slave.jar WARNING: Are you running slave agent from an interactive console? If so, you are probably using it incorrectly. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Hudson-ci/Launching_slave.jar_from_the_console
