Don't use Jenkins to schedule it, but actually use cron. If Jenkins is available, you can send the logs and result to it using the 'monitor external job' job type. On 11.08.2013, at 17:26, rmorgan...@gmail.com wrote: > if the jenkins server is down my cronjob won't run. Is there a way for the

Thanks Mark. This is the parallelization path. Besides, are there any other advices/best practice tips on how to "manage" such a fast-growing regression suite? Yana On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 6:34 PM, Mark Waite wrote: > There are several levels at which you could run your JUnit tests in > parall

Set limit on number of threads

2013-08-11 Thread Justinas Urbanavicius
Hi, I was wondering, if there is a way to limit the number of threads that jenkins uses, at start-up i see that there are ~28 threads running jenkins.war, and they use a lot of memory. Don't know why there should be a need for that much threads *Platform *Linux debian x64 *Java *version "1.6.0

Check out http://yourjenkins/threadDump -- the threads mostly have nice names that explain what they're for. Maybe you have some success changing --handlerCountStartup if you're using winstone (http://winstone.sourceforge.net/#commandLine) to reduce the number of initial request handlers. On 1

Hello, Under linux, each thread is not individually using the full amount of memory that shows up in ps or top. There are a significant number of shared memory pages involved, so the total memory usage isn't simply sum( RSS_thread1, RSS_thread2 ... RSS_threadN ) HTH Andrew On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 a

Instead I'd try to download it to the job's WORKSPACE on the slave during the build and run it from there, if possible. On 12.08.2013, at 08:19, Avihay Eyal wrote: > Hi, I have a job running on a dedicated slave. This job should run unittests > and regression tests via robot framework. > > Th

The regression tests *runs on the slave*, but they're *executed via SSH,*from the *robot framework*. I prefer the robot framework execution to happen from the master, cause I don't want to install the robot framework on each slave. On Monday, August 12, 2013 9:30:04 AM UTC+3, Daniel Beck wrote:
