How do I trigger another job from hudson as a pre-build step?
735
Select a job that triggers a remote one and then go to Job Configuration > Build section > Add Build Step > Trigger builds on remote/local projects option. This configuration allows you to trigger another exciting job on a different CM (remote). The downstream job name part will autocomplete.
A build job is a particular way of compiling, testing, packaging, deploying or otherwise doing something with your project.
There is a Parameterized Trigger Plugin, which enables "Trigger/call builds on other projects" in "Add build step" menu.

You can use the plugin at http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Join+Plugin
Basically you create 3 jobs:
A = your prebuild ste
B = your main job
C = your trigger.
You 'build' C. It calls A, and once A is successful, it calls B. The plugin page gives you more information. The good thing about this plugin is that you can have any number of pre-build jobs.
We actually have a set of 5 pre-build jobs before our main is run.
================================================
If you don't want to try that:
If you are using Linux, you can do the following from within your "shell" script:
wget http://yourserver/hudson/job/MyJob/build?delay=0sec This will trigger the job. The bad part about this is that it will not wait for the job to finish.
