Getting the perforce changelist for multiple projects through Jenkins

Apologies in advance for my Jenkins knowledge, started using it recently.

I have multiple projects under the same depot. Therefore I've only got one perforce mapping in the Jenkins. I want to get the latest changelist number for each project. The environmental variable P4_CHANGELIST only lists the latest for the whole depot. Therefore I tried to invoke a post build CMD process for each project to query the changelist number

p4 changes -m1 //path/to/project1 
p4 changes -m1 //path/to/project2

Then Jenkins trigger an error Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT. But the command works in my machine. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks All, still couldn't get to work. So this is my solution.

Instead if mapping the parent directory of multiple projects and building them all, I created multiple Jenkins projects with a single mapping in each. In this way each Jenkins project has the final changelist of perforce project (in the environmental variable P4_CHANGELIST). Thereafter I created a pipeline project at use a simple Groovy scripts to build all my projects. Now I have all the latest changelists of all the projects. I know its naive, but got my job done.
