Originally I started Jenkins like this (abbreviated), but the sessionTimeout was not effective: java -DsessionTimeout=480 -jar jenkins.war I found that changing to this form worked: java -jar jenkins.war --sessionTimeout=480
Obviously you’ll need to work out for yourself how you get your init script to do that. Hope that helps Matthew From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Fleming (BLOOMBERG/ 731 LEXIN) Sent: 23 December 2013 19:17 To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: How to use --sessionTimeout? No, this is not going to work. You are passing the arguments to a shell script which does many things, including starting Jenkins. If this is the script provided by the Debian/Ubuntu packages for Jenkins, you will want to do this instead: * Open /etc/default/jenkins in a text editor. * Find the JENKINS_ARGS variable at the bottom of the file. * Inside the double-quotes, probably at the end, add: -DsessionTimeout=1440 * Save the file, then restart Jenkins using the init script (/etc/init.d/jenkins restart). ----- Original Message ----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com> To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com> At: Dec 20 2013 08:59:20 I have also tried: # /etc/init.d/jenkins start --sessionTimeout 1440 But the session timeout is still much less than 1 day.

I think it is in minutes. Before you edit the web.xml in the exploded war's winstone ${user.home}/.jenkins/war/WEB-INF/web.xml add this entry <session-config> <session-timeout>20</session-timeout> </session-config> I think you simply add "–DsessionTimeout=<value-in-miinutes>" in your jenkins's start-up script like the rest.

Hi Having upgraded to 1.532.1 LTS, how do I use the --sessionTimeout parameter? Is it something like: sudo /etc/init.d/jenkins start –sessionTimeout=1800 where the timeout value is in seconds?
