Jenkins command to get number of builds in queue

See Jenkins' Remote access API.

Access the API description with:

  http://<Your Jenkins>/api/

and the actual data with:

  http://<Your Jenkins>/api/xml

The Build queue has its own separate API:

  http://<Your Jenkins>/queue/api/

with its data:

  http://<Your Jenkins>/queue/api/xml
