It already exists in e.g. the SafeRestart Plugin. (And https://github.com/daniel-beck/unsafe-restart-plugin is a nice example for a similar plugin that shows that not everything reachable by URL should be exposed on the UI by default.) Using a plugin to solve a particular use case is exactly how this should be handled, unless there's strong evidence that the need is fairly universal. I don't remember any earlier requests for this, the positive response to your request is non-existing, and the PollSCM has reached less than 700 installs in almost three years (indicating both relatively low demand and acceptance of the plugin by those who want this feature), so it doesn't look like there's a notable demand for this to be made part of core. FWIW this link should be fairly easy to add using Simple Theme plugin and a bit of JS, so you don't even need a plugin for this feature. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
