Run the bitten-slave with the option "--single" (-s for short) so that it exits after a single build instead of polling for more. === What options does the Bitten slave support? === See [wiki:BittenSlaveOptions Bitten Slave Options.] == Bitten Master == === My slave connects to the build master, why doesn't it start a build? === See [wiki:BittenBuildWontStart Build Won't Start]. === How do I add one of those cool over-time charts to my build page? === The charts are added automatically if your recipe creates junit reports and/or code-coverage reports. To create your own custom charts, see [wiki:AddingCharts Adding Custom Charts to Bitten.] === Can I see some sample bitten recipes? === See [wiki:BittenSampleRecipes Sample Recipes]
