Start Jenkins build using batch script

Question

I am working with a Jenkins build server to run synthesis/simulation for FPGAs. Right now I have nightly builds and can start the build manually in Jenkins browser interface

Answer 1

As I tried to trigger my job via curl I ended up always getting "Not authorized" errors.

Later I found out that this was because I completely disabled anonymous access on the server. The solution was to install the following plugin: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build+Token+Root+Plugin
