[JIRA] [core] (JENKINS-17116) gracefull job termination

Tue, 09 Sep 2014 14:40:17 -0700

Maximum flexibility, as a plugin or built-in, in my view and without regards to feasibility, would be:

  • wait a configurable amount of time for the SIGTERM killed process to come to its natural completion (i.e. let it run its traps/handlers)
  • if not dead by the timeout, send SIGKILL and wait for process to be gone (N seconds, configurable)
  • If not dead, move on to the next job or hang (as determined by the user - sometimes hanging is the right thing: spectacular failures are usually easy to debug but it's a judgement call)
  • When moving on, perform the post-build steps

Regarding the last point, I am not sure whether Jenkins is supposed to perform the post-build steps when a build is killed by the user - but it is certainly something that would help me. Perhaps this is something that could be configured?

I do not know what would belong to a plugin vs. what should be built-in.
