editing jenkins jobs in shell / vi / ssh

[Adrianm758]

Is there any way Jenkins jobs can be edited / configured directly in a shell using vi or similar. I'm so sick of getting the "java.lang.Throwable: HttpInput idle timeout" error when using the GUI, especially when it's just a small one-line change I want to make.

Full stack trace is this:

2: Please avoid to give us any more details about your installation, like version numbers, OS or installed pluigns. We all like guessing.

Full stack trace is this:

3: Did you?

Yes. You can always edit the config.xml files and reload the configuration under "Manage Jenkins".

Bye...

Hi,

this looks really unusal and has nothing to do with editing in itself. It looks like your http request is never sending data to the server , so most probably something is misconfigured (proxy?)  or you are  on an extremly slow network (less than 1byte/5 seconds?) .
