No, this is not going to work. You are passing the arguments to a shell script which does many things, including starting Jenkins.
If this is the script provided by the Debian/Ubuntu packages for Jenkins, you will want to do this instead: * Open /etc/default/jenkins in a text editor. * Find the JENKINS_ARGS variable at the bottom of the file. * Inside the double-quotes, probably at the end, add: -DsessionTimeout=1440 * Save the file, then restart Jenkins using the init script (/etc/init.d/jenkins restart). ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] At: Dec 20 2013 08:59:20 I have also tried: # /etc/init.d/jenkins start --sessionTimeout 1440 But the session timeout is still much less than 1 day.

Hi I tried this: # /etc/init.d/jenkins start --DsessionTimeout=1440 to set the timeout to 1 day. But the session timeout is still less than 1 day. Have I got the syntax right?

I think it is in minutes. Before you edit the web.xml in the exploded war's winstone ${user.home}/.jenkins/war/WEB-INF/web.xml add this entry <session-config> <session-timeout>20</session-timeout> </session-config> I think you simply add "–DsessionTimeout=<value-in-miinutes>" in your jenkins's start-up script like the rest.

Hi Having upgraded to 1.532.1 LTS, how do I use the --sessionTimeout parameter? Is it something like: sudo /etc/init.d/jenkins start –sessionTimeout=1800 where the timeout value is in seconds?
