Much is left to be desired about how to effectively install and use "The Grinder" after wandering through the site (latest version 3.4) documentation and other hits I can find on the web.
While I now have both the Console and an Agent running from command lines on a Windows (same 127.0.0.1) box, I am struggling to understand how to effectively "distribute" the Agent's grinder.properties file to the Agent "root" folder such that when it starts up it will pickup the grinder.consoleHost definition. There seems to be a chicken and and egg issue here, because you can't "distribute" files from the Console until the agent is up, but when it starts up it will only 'eat' the grinder.properties file in the folder in which the Agent starts and NOT the last one sent by the Console to the Agent in the distribution folder under the root folder.
Anyway I don't expect to get a thread going here, but can anyone point me to a real blog that actively handles "The Grinder" questions of this nature? The SourceForge website only offers some type of mail-server thing that would like to avoid if I can (have not had much luck with these on SourceForge in the past).
