Using Telnet in Jenkins

Viewed 3273

We are currently running several Projects on several Servers. For our workflow we installed Telnet to communicate with theses servers. More than this, we run the Build/Make mechanism (own development php) on theses servers.

Now we like to introduce a CI mechanism to this. Therefore we installed a central Jenkins application, from which we like to trigger all these builds. Our standard way is to open a telnet connection an trigger the build command on shell. Now we like to adopt this mechanism and bring it to Jenkins.

Is there a possibility to open a Telnet connection via Jenkins?

Installing a slave Jenkins on the remote Servers is a not as much preferred option, because we don't like to install more Software on the server as necessary.
