Hi Baptiste.

>Just out of curiosity, why do you want to automate that restart?

I find Jenkins slows down after running for awhile (a week or so) and a 
restart usually fixes this. I've used the monitoring plugin to try to 
identify issues but I haven't spotted anything other than response times 
slowly increasing over time. Forcing garbage collection etc., seem to help 
a little, but so far the best solution is simply to restart. If I can 
schedule that over the weekend that should work well.  But yes, you are 
correct to ask why I need to do this as it shouldn't really be required. 
I'll continue to try and track down the root cause, but in the meantime 
this should help.

Thanks
Andy
