<h4 class="subsection">6.2.1 create-slave</h4>
<p>This creates a new directory and populates it with files that let it
be used as a buildslave's base directory. You must provide several
arguments, which are used to create the initial <samp><span class="file">buildbot.tac</span></samp>
file.
<p>The <code>-r</code> option is advisable here, just like for <code>create-master</code>.
<pre class="example"> buildslave create-slave -r <var>BASEDIR</var> <var>MASTERHOST</var>:<var>PORT</var> <var>SLAVENAME</var> <var>PASSWORD</var>
</pre>
<p>The create-slave options are described in See <a href="Buildslave-Options.html#Buildslave-Options">Buildslave Options</a>.
