  Command to be used to launch a slave agent program, which controls the slave
  computer and communicates with the master. Hudson assumes that
  the executed program launches the slave.jar program on the correct
    slave machine.

  
  A copy of slave.jar can be downloaded from here.

  

  In a simple case, this could be
  something like "ssh hostname java -jar ~/bin/slave.jar".

  However, it is often a good idea to write a small shell script, like the following, on a slave
  so that you can control the location of Java and/or slave.jar, as well as set up any
  environment variables specific to this slave node, such as PATH.
  
#!/bin/sh
exec java -jar ~/bin/slave.jar


  
  You can use any command to run a process on the slave machine, such as RSH,
  as long as stdin/stdout of this process will be connected to
  "java -jar ~/bin/slave.jar" eventually.

  

  In a larger deployment, It is also worth considering to load slave.jar from
  a NFS-mounted common location, so that you don't have to update this file every time
  you update Hudson.

  

  Setting this to "ssh -v hostname" may be useful for debugging connectivity
  issue.
