I don't understand why this would be the case. The are separate physical 
machines, right? 

And, the real mystery, to us in Platform, is why are the Mac tests are 
taking so long these days? They used to finish almost as fast as the Linux 
tests ... and Windows was the one that took "2 to 4 hours longer". Guess 
it wasn't the VM (Bug 419842) and wasn't the constant Bluetooth keyboard 
checking (Bug 419280) ... while it might, possibly, perhaps be something 
in our code, since it started about the same time that "Signing Mac 
executables" was started as a service from that machine, I have to ask one 
more question ... does that signing service call "sleep" or loop 
constantly looking for requests to sign something? That might tie up 
processors (doing nothing) that perhaps would slow down our tests ... and 
I've no idea how many processors that machine has, or even if its "sleep" 
function actually pauses a whole processor like I've been told other OSs 
do ... seems unlikely ... but no idea how its implemented (wasn't that C# 
was it :) ... I'm just grasping at straws,  as to what would "suddenly" 
make those tests twice as slow. I might have to start using my own Mac for 
comparison :\ 

But, back to the point of original topic, it is not so much that a "sudden 
restart caused [us] some grief" but the fact that there is no clue or 
announcement that it was done, which is the point of Bug 417457. I think 
in years past, we've said that to restart Hudson any job that has over an 
hour left would be canceled, gracefully if possible, forcibly if not .... 
but that it should be "announced" in one form or another. I'd never expect 
you to wait for our long tests to complete. We can easily restart them 
(when Hudson is working) as long as there is some notification to wake me 
up from my nap. :)

I would cancel the job myself but Hudson doesn't seem to be responding at 
all any more (502 "bad gateway" error). 

Thanks for the care and accommodation, though. 

Sincerely,

I'm not sure it's wise to have the ep4-inut-mac64 and ep4-unit-win32 jobs 
both be running at the same time, though....

I see 36m left for win32, 2h05 left for Mac.

I think the Windows/Mac tests seriously affect the master performance. 
Last time we've seen this David was running tests and our sudden restart 
caused him some grief.

Yep, but it's running eight builds right now, so we don't want to restart 
it. 

Hang in there...
