Jenkins job termination needs serious engineering help

[Rinaldo DiGiorgio]

It has been over a year of dealing with Job termination in jenkins requiring one to find an html link in a console output file that is scrolling at a very fast rate. It is mind boggling that an action like that is not sent to some queue in a reasonable interface for someone to act on.  Let's not even discuss it is using a javascript dialog which give you no additional information.

Please explain, not sure I am following the issue.

Not sure I understand this email, what is the problem or desired outcome?

He's complaining about https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-33721

I am not complaining, I appreciate Open Source and all the work being done by the Jenkins community. if I understood the class structure more I would into it.  A slightly related issue has to do with the following.  We used the nice new timeout step in pipeline and it tirggered as expected, we had issues with it because it geneerated an exception we had not accounted for. When the timeout occurs the job doesn't complete processing.  Is there some additional action I can take to cause the job to timeout. We run 100s of jobs and want to avoid logging in to resolve the issue. I had to click abort and then find the link the console log.
