jsh

Shell to manage Jenkins jobs

Browser clickediclick in jenkins may become cumbersome if you frequently test/trigger jobs. This is intended to become the <cursor up><enter> for:

• click on job
• click run (with params)
• edit parameters (once more if the defaults weren't right...)
• click 'run'
• wait for the job to start
• click on job in jobs list
• click on 'console output' ...

instead do:

jsh.py myServerName run testJob testparam=True

And it gets better;

• copy src/jsh_complete.bash to your bash settings (/etc/bash_completion.d/)
• install jsh.py plus symlink to jsh to your path

and once you've started a fresh shell you will be able to tab expand:

• jobs
• parameters to these jobs.
