The obvious thing is to hit the rest interface, but if you want the
two things to be almost completely unaware of each other, the other
system could commit something to an SCM like subversion where jenkins
is polling for changes. The thing it commits might or might not
actually be used to control changes in the job, and this approach can
work even if the systems can't connect directly or aren't online at
the same times. The job itself might send completion details, or
maybe you could route an email from the email-ext plugin back to your
other process.
