I have also seen our Jenkins get stuck in "Jenkins is going to shut down" mode, and it appears to be caused by the thin-backup plugin trying to begin a backup while a long-running job is running. The best solution seems to be to schedule nightly backups to run before starting any long-running jobs in the evening or overnight hours.

Hello Thanks for your quick answsers! Here are mine : - Latest Jenkins, using Linux standalone service (init.d). I'm under latest ubuntu 12.10 - I have the exclusive execution plugin installed but I don't use it. I'm disabling it right now - which backup plugin are you talking about? I'm using "Backup plugin", but since it doesn't seem to do the job, I'm also disabling it. Regards, ----- Gaetan 2012/10/30 Larry Shatzer, Jr. <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Are you running your job with this plugin: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Exclusive+Execution+Plugin? It will prevent other jobs from running, and the way it does that is to put it into "shutdown" mode so no other jobs run at the same time.

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? Many thanks! ----- Gaetan
