That's not a rule, it's the law :-) An executor executes a job, it can't do more than one simultaneously.

And, the general rule is always one job per executor, am I correct?

The parent jobs are not special, they are just jobs in their own right and obey all the normal job processing rules. ----- Original Message ----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com At: Jan 21 2014 03:55:44 Hi I am using the 'Matrix Tie Parent' plugin to tie the parent build job of our matrix jobs to a specific node. I want the parent job to be allocated to a Linux slave, not one of our Windows slaves, so I chose to tie it to our Jenkins master (which runs on Linux). My question is: Can multiple parent build jobs run on a single node simultaneously? If not, my strategy will cause our matrix jobs to queue while the master is busy, which would be bad.
