Jesse Glick commented on JENKINS-53315   Re: Timeout step should support a closure to execute prior to killing body Bourne shell scripts will indeed not be available in most Windows flavors, but I assume an analogous feature is easy to write in Powershell. Or, again, depending on the Java program in question, you can intercept SIGTERM in a cross-platform manner using Java APIs. In fact, at least on Linux, you can dispense with the timeout step altogether! sh 'timeout 11 timeout -sQUIT 10 java -jar …/jdk5/demo/jfc/SwingSet2/SwingSet2.jar' As to why you should always prefer native solutions to Pipeline script tricks, this is a subject for innumerable conference talks. Just trust me that you are better off keeping the Pipeline script to the bare minimum necessary to orchestrate actions on the Jenkins service, boiling your actual build down to a sh './run' if at all possible.
