Jenkins Safe Restart

[capt edgar]

Does anyone know or aware of any command-line option or scripts to restart Jenkins installed on Apache Tomcat?

I found this on Google https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/SafeRestart+Plugin but just wondering if anyone had used this plugin to make it work for jenkins installed on Apache Tomcat7

regards

I think you can disable a tomcat service via some api call. Then you could re-enable it.

Does the safe-restart Jenkins CLI command work with Tomcat?

Hi Richard

I'm a newbie to Jenkins so did some investigation and it turns out neither the SAFERESTART Plugin nor the Jenkins CLI command works if Jenkins is installed on Tomcat Server. It will work only if Jenkins is installed as a standalone service

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -noCertificateCheck -s https://jenkins-test/login --username **** --password ****

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -noCertificateCheck -s https://jenkins-test/safe-restart  --username **** --password ****

I kept getting this 

root cause 
hudson.lifecycle.RestartNotSupportedException: Default Windows lifecycle does not support restart.

It would be nice to have a plugin for Jenkins which will do a safe restart if the Jenkins itself is installed on Apache Tomcat

Just out of interest anyone know of commands/scripts to safe-restart Tomcat?

Hello,

do you have strong constraint to run Jenkins on top of Tomcat? I think it would be much simpler for you if you just run Jenkins with the embedded container and the service wrapper.

Hi Vincent

unfortunately yes because that is the current set-up and our Jenkins has about 4000 odd jobs so migrating to new architecture in Jenkins would be sometime.

It isn't a big change really, the Jenkins working directory which contains all the data can be reused as is.

What about to use tomcat service to call restart service in which stop($catalona_home/bin/shutdown.sh)first then by using Catalina_pid to check running Jenkins service and kill it  before starting($catalina_home/bin/startup.sh) Jenkins service .
