TestRunner is no longer supported. Use http://fitnesse.org/FitNesse.UserGuide.CommandLineRestCommands

Update: link has changed - http://www.fitnesse.org/FitNesse.UserGuide.ControllingFitNesseFromTheCommandLine

Excerpt from Fitnesse docs:

You can run any REST command (See Restful Services) from the command line by using the -c command line option as follows:

java -jar fitnesse-standalone.jar -c

This starts up fitnesse, runs the command, emits the output to standard out, and then exits.

Most often you will use this to run tests and/or suites from the command line as follows:

java -jar fitnesse-standalone.jar -c "MyTestPage?test&format=text"
