Programmatically check if Jenkins service is up and running

[Liora Milbaum]

My chef cookbook deploys Jenkins and few plugins. A restart is required after the plugins are installed.

It takes few seconds to the service coming back. Till than, no additional configuration can be executed on that Jenkins service.

The easiest way is to sleep for lets say 60 seconds and than continue as usual.

But, there must be another way to deal with it. Something like looping till a heartbeat is received.

Any idea how it can be implemented?

Thanks,

Liora

Don't know chef myself, but IIRC it's Ruby so you could probably query a URL under /userContent for a file you dropped yourself. And loop for say max 90 until it's there, or fail?

See https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Administering+Jenkins if you don't know that directory.
