I don't know the answer, but didn't want you to think we're ignoring you. I don't think that the group has enough to bite on to answer this...yet.
My setup has Jenkins running for weeks at a time, so this is definitely not normal. Some useful information might be: 1: Which version of Jenkins are you running? 2: Which OS are you running on? 3: Which web container are you running it in (Tomcat, Glassfish, Jetty, etc.)? If you're just running "java -jar jenkins.war" or somesuch, you're using the internal Winstone container 4: How does your system launch Jenkins? Is it a Unix init.d service, or a Windows service, or do you just launch it at the command line? 5: Are you using a plugin to back up your Jenkins configuration? I had one at one point and it wanted to shut down my Jenkins daily so that it didn't back up a moving target. --Rob From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Gaetan Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2012 6:04 AM To: Jenkins Users Subject: Why jenkins restart every day? Hello My Jenkins installation want to restart everyday and and i don't find why. I have a nightly test job that run for at least 15 hours, and when it is underway, jenkins switch to "Jenkins is going to shutdown" job, so it doesn't accept jobs. If I cancel it, some job can be started but it switch back to this shutdown mode. I don't do jenkins update every day, so I don't see why it always wants to restart. Any idea?
