Tail a jenkins console log, exiting when job is done

The program converts CR/LF sequences to LF, rather than getting the /consoleText file which removes all CR characters before LF.

Examples

Get the console log for a running job

jenkinstail http://example.com/job/daily/12345

Add some crude timestamping. You can use ts from the debian moreutils package

jenkinstail http://example.com/job/daily/12345 |ts

Wait for a job to complete, then send email. Could also use banner or wall.

{ jenkinstail http://example.com/job/daily/12345 > /dev/null ; email -s "Finished" [email protected] } &

Look for messages to tell you when thing have happened

jenkinstail http://example.com/job/daily/12345 |grep 'Stage 1 finished'
