    Hi,

     

    You can run testrunner using ssh if you have ssh-agent running on the Jenkins machine you want to run testrunner on and testrunner is installed there.  You can use a ssh command like the below for a remote start of tesrunner.

     

    ssh username@hostname '(/ReadyAPI/bin/testrunner.sh testrunner_arguments)'

     

    If you have a ssh key you can use the -i argument with the ssh command to specify the ssh key.  The Jenkins job can be a shell script command to do this.
