SSH

The Jenkins project announced unresolved security vulnerabilities affecting the current version of this plugin (why?):

Plugin info

This Plugin was derived from the very cool SCP Plugin.You can use the SSH Plugin to run shell commands on a remote machine via ssh.


Usage

First go to the global configuration page and add a SSH site.

{width="689" height="245"}

For your job select a configured site and enter the shell commands that should be executed before and after the build.

Log will look like this.


TODO

  • i18n
  • we also need a post deploy script (ask some of the core team how to do that)
  • investigate stop behavior of Hudson jobs using the ssh Plugin
  • use same sites as scp plugin (plugin dependencies???)
  • ...
