Antoine, Thanks for pointing this out. I checked the 'fail the build' checkboxes and updated the configs for a couple of the jobs (before hudson started having issues). I'm assuming it's the build timeout plugin that takes care of killing the jobs. According to the docs[1] builds might still get need to be killed depending on how they're getting stuck. What was the name of the job(s) that were stuck?
