Common Build Infrastructure/Managing Hudson

Restarting Hudson

Here's the process for authorized committers to restart Hudson. A restart is required if new / updated plugins have been installed or if a new version of Hudson is available.

If you're not authorized see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=257265#c34

• open Hudson in a browser, log in, then go here: https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/manage

• click Prepare for Shutdown: https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/quietDown

• ssh to build.eclipse.org

$ sudo rchudson restart 

If that fails and you need to manually kill and restart hudson

• sudo su - hudsonbuild

• find the running process:

$ ps xu | grep hudson | egrep -v "su|grep"

55011      962 21.0  0.8 644064 128764 ?       Sl   18:32   2:21 /shared/common/ibm-java2-ppc-50/bin/java -jar /opt/users/hudsonbuild/hudson.war --configure=/opt/users/hudsonbuild/

• kill that process

$ kill 962

• exit su:

$ exit

• start Hudson:

$ sudo rchudson restart 

• log out

• open Hudson in a browser, log in, then go here: https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/manage to verify your changes
