Hi Miles

I suspect that the 'longest' job is often a job that is waiting for deadlocked broken daemons to magically unlock/time-out.

I know that on a couple of occasions MDT/OCL was one of the blockers even though I had explicitly killed the problem jobs.

     Regards

Hi all,

I wanted to bring up a Hudson annoyance and see if people had ideas for 
improving this. What's happening now is that any time Hudson gets sent a 
shutdown, everyone is locked out until the last job in queue finishes. Which is 
a) Good news for the people with running builds, b) Bad news for everyone else. 
Observing that most of the time most of us are  in category b) I vote for 
making things work better for group b). Nothing against PTP :D, but they happen 
to be in group a) this time around and the last run took 22 hours. :O But there 
are lot's of long builds out there. This means that snapshots are delayed for 
everyone.

So I'm wondering if it might be possible to have some kind of policy where 
builds are terminated with prejudice under shutdown. I'm not sure if a) this is 
even supportable OOTB in Hudson, and b) whether that would have the possibility 
of FUBAR'ing anyone project builds. As project builds should not be relying on 
previous state, I would say that the answer to b is probably no. I also imagine 
allowance should be made for key builds such as aggregator. IIRC in the past 
when in release panic mode we were triggering hard shutdowns from time to time.

thoughts?

Miles
