[Olaf Wagner]

Hi Jay,

thanks for your suggestions.

I'll try to get it working tomorrow. One of them should do :-)

> # /var/hudson/bin/launch-slave is a shell script that Hudson uses to

> JAVA_HOME=/opt/SUN/jdk1.6.0_04
> PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
> export PATH
> java -jar /var/hudson/bin/slave.jar

> http://www.modula3.com:8080/configure
> Global Properties: Environment variables
> This is yucky but appears easy and would work.

> 3)
> You can specify CVS executable there.

> Hudson initialization script.

> $HUDSON_HOME/init.groovy
> I'm not sure this runs on slave or master.

> somewhere, like start. That's too much Groovy for me to write,
> and get working within Hudson..there is System.getenv, but

> You can set "tool locations".

> 6)
> There is some mention of "PATH+".

> You were right.  The ssh itself did not load the correct PATH (I
> couldn't see it via putty).  It turns out ssh does not read
