Just to be sure: they don't abort their jobs in this case? --Rob

The server has been hanging and taking up 100% CPU on its server from time to time, so I've had to bounce the server. With 12-hour test cycles, this can be...disruptive. I am trying to diagnose that problem, but while I'm doing that, I'm also trying to figure out a way to be able to bounce the server and keep the jobs running. Currently, all slaves have a launch method of "Launch slave via execution of command on the Master", and said commands are SSH jobs. So, when I kill the Jenkins server, its 120+ SSH jobs die because they're subordinate processes, killing the slaves and any jobs running on them. I know that you can launch JNLP slaves so that they aren't subordinate jobs, and won't get automatically killed by Linux when you kill the server. So my question is: If I have a JNLP slave running a job and its Jenkins server dies, will it re-establish the connection and continue the job it was running when the server comes back up?
