Hi,
the usual way to restart Jenkins for maintenance is to activate "Prepare
for shutdown", to wait until all running tasks are completed and restart
Jenkins.
In the past we had many situations where we needed a second restart but
because Jenkins starts looking for SCM changes right after the start a new
set of builds are already running.
It would be of great benefit to have a flag which starts Jenkins right into
"Prepare for shutdown" mode so that no new builds start running.
The easiest part would be to look for a certain file, e.g.
jenkins.maintenance, if that is present, Jenkins goes into maintenance
mode. When the file is deleted, Jenkins goes back to normal mode.
How do you think about such a feature?
Kind regards,
Michael
