This would be a starting point - there is also a cli and a way to use groovy to access the whole api. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API >> For linux slaves started via ssh you don't really need anything for >> jenkins other than the jvm and a >> suitable user account. > > > All these have been done.
