If you are issuing any svn command from an environment where there is no user to prompt, I suggest using the global option svn --non-interactive That means it will never hang waiting for a prompt. Instead, it will fail, and the output will tell you what happened. Matthew

Probably is a stupid thing... The job only execute a command svn update in my Windows 8.1 machine: a) If I start the client from JNLP file, the job is executed. b) If I install it as service, it holds waiting... waiting for password maybe? D:\AAA\nt>svn update Updating '.': then after 5 minutes I decide to abort the job: Build was aborted Aborted by anonymous<http://jenkins.oe.com/user/anonymous> Finished: ABORTED Stopping the service, executing a mandatory svn cleanup from an independent cmd, and launching again from JNLP, works like a charm. Why the svn update command does not work from service? Where to read to understand how Jenkins works on this mode? Notes: 1) My user is defined in a domain server, not in my local machine. For that I configured the service to use my specific user@domain and password. 2) I'm using Pagent.exe, all svn commands (checkout, update, commit, status..) from my cmd.exe work well. 3) The command svn status works perfect from JNLP and from Service. 4) Seems that the connection with Pagent.exe is broken. Printing some environment variables inside the job I find the expected values: ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\ProgramData APPDATA=C:\Users\jpvogt\AppData\Roaming BASE=D:\Jenkins SERVICE_ID=jenkinsslave-D__Jenkins SVN_SSH=C:/putty/plink.exe Thanks for your time reading this issue.
