CLI args: java -jar jenkins.war –help Additional (unmentioned) CLI args at http://winstone.sourceforge.net/

There is a Slack package.

Add necessary user and group: from jenkins.SlackBuild:

groupadd -g 251 jenkins
useradd -g 251 -u 251 -r -s /bin/bash -d /var/lib/jenkins jenkins

Is done in /etc/jenkins/jenkins.conf. (This file controlls /usr/bin/jenkinsd)

Jenkins needs a home dir JENKINS_HOME to perform builds and keep archives. The Slack package defaults that dir to /var/lib/jenkins. To move it to the /home partion with little effort, you can simply use a symlink:

cd /var/lib
cp -a jenkins /home/
chown -R jenkins:jenkins /home/jenkins
mv jenkins jenkins.sborg
ln -s /home/jenkins jenkins

Just Replace .war file in /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war
This can do jenkins by itself if you give the according file permission to /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war
