I have Jenkins running merrily on an Ubuntu box and want to set up a slave on an RHEL box.
Created a script on the RHEL box that essentially launches a script that in turn launches the slave.jar. Trying to invoke it over SSH and there's where things take a turn for the worse. I'm getting this: [11/14/16 16:22:37] Launching agent $ /usr/share/tomcat8/startSlave0 Host key verification failed. ERROR: Unable to launch the agent for <host>java.io.EOFException <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search?query=java.io.EOFException>: unexpected stream termination at hudson.remoting.ChannelBuilder.negotiate(ChannelBuilder.java:365) <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search/?query=hudson.remoting.ChannelBuilder.negotiate&entity=method> at hudson.remoting.ChannelBuilder.build(ChannelBuilder.java:310) <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search/?query=hudson.remoting.ChannelBuilder.build&entity=method> at hudson.slaves.SlaveComputer.setChannel(SlaveComputer.java:388) <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search/?query=hudson.slaves.SlaveComputer.setChannel&entity=method> at hudson.slaves.CommandLauncher.launch(CommandLauncher.java:131) <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search/?query=hudson.slaves.CommandLauncher.launch&entity=method> at hudson.slaves.SlaveComputer$1.call(SlaveComputer.java:261) <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search/?query=hudson.slaves.SlaveComputer$1.call&entity=method> at jenkins.util.ContextResettingExecutorService$2.call(ContextResettingExecutorService.java:46) <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search/?query=jenkins.util.ContextResettingExecutorService$2.call&entity=method> at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search/?query=java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run&entity=method> at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search/?query=java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker&entity=method> at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search/?query=java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run&entity=method> at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search/?query=java.lang.Thread.run&entity=method> ERROR: Process terminated with exit code 255 That first line is a script on the master that does the SSH. What I'm not sure about is exactly what is complaining about Host key verification. Given I can run that script by hand and it starts the jar file I'm a bit confused about what's going on here. Has anybody gotten this to work? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
