Jenkins - execute script on different machine with local env variables

Question

Have:

1. Jenkins job that needs to execute bash command and initialise variable locally:

   GOOD_VARIABLE=command

2. SSH into remote host and execute another command with above variable

   command ${GOOD_VARIABLE}...

Problem:

I know how to ssh into another machine and execute command there but how can I pass that local variable to remote host?

Tried but didn't work:

• Pre build script
• Inject environment variables to the build process

Answer 1

sounds like your problem is how to send a var through SSH.

Don't forget the -T when using SSH through Jenkins!
