Hi Carlton, Jenkins-cli seems to have some issues concerning authentication. Groovysh allows you to interact directly with the Jenkins JVM using the goovy language.
If you don't need this "interaction" prefer the groovy command as a possible workaround For instance. $ java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080/jenkins/ -i <myKeyFile> groovy test_script.gsh Enter passphrase for <myKeyFile>: ant - 1.1 javadoc - 1.0 Jenkins CVS Plug-in - 1.6 Maven Integration plugin - 1.460 Jenkins SSH Slaves plugin - 0.21 Jenkins Subversion Plug-in - 1.34 Jenkins Translation Assistance plugin - 1.8 and the test_script.gsh is reusing your command "jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins.each { println("${it.longName} - ${it.version}") }" I try to add more details concerning jenkins-cli.jar tool: Jenkins CLI in Dev ML<https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#%21topic/jenkinsci-dev/Es4nvtZVyj0> To skip the step of the creation of a groovy script file for each command, the usage talks about a pramater "=" to write the command in stdin.
