Howdy Gavin,

I've updated everything besides the two FreeBSD nodes that Joan
manages. Is there a trick to having Jenkins realize a node has
upgraded its slave.jar? Took me an extra twenty minutes fumbling
around before realizing that slave.jar is now actually agent.jar and
that even though Jenkins realized the jar had actually been updated. I
ended up realizing that I had to go through each node in the web UI to
re-enable each worker.

Joan, for the FreeBSD ones I'm not sure how you set up the run
scripts. For me it was just a `sudo sv restart jenkins` on each node
because I download the agent.jar as part of `/etc/sv/jenkins/run`.
Then it was just a random Googling till I happened to notice that was
enough to upgrade the jar and needed to click the button.
