Two thoughts.
1) When running Jenkins as a service, can you run as a user, instead of local system? And can you give that user permissions to your share? 2) From a command window, “shutdown /r /t 0” will restart the machine. If you’re not running as a service you’ll need to log in before the slave reconnects.

A little background of the problem we have: Lately we have been observing some discrepancy in the readings due to memory consumption of Jenkins slave - memory usage goes up and down. For reliability we need same readings when a single test is executed multiple times. But that doesn't seem to happen now after adopting Jenkins. We have observed that Jenkins slave memory usage increases gradually over a period of time and suspecting that this could be affecting the stability of the performance tests. Question: So now we want to figure out a way to restart Jenkins slave after every performance test we perform on the server. Using Jenkins slave as a service is preventing us to access some network shares so we were forced to start Jenkins slave using the java -jar option. Is there a way we can restart Jenkins slaves after every test run on the slave? I have also attached herewith the list of plugins I have installed. Please advise if any of these plugins could be causing the increasing memory usage of Jenkins slave. I can share more details about my setup if it helps. Thank you for your time and advice.
