I want to abort my Jenkins Job before clock hits a particular time. I didn't find anything which stops it automatically at a specified time(I don't want to do it manually). Is there anything like that?
I have read this post, but none of the answer solves my problem How to stop an unstoppable zombie job on Jenkins without restarting the server?
If you want to stop a long running job, let's say, it is running more than 3 hours, then below jenkins plugins does exactly that for you.
Abort a build if it is likely stuck
Or, if you want certain build to abort on a specific time (i.e, no build should run at 5 pm daily), then you can configure groovy script to do that.

I'm having some difficulties in getting this one working.
How would I have to configure a job in Jenkins to call some script on a node, the node to execute and when exiting, the job to not declare the build finished but to wait for a certain amount of time and to call again the script. The waiting period would have to be dynamically calculated at runtime based on a target start time. Such a build would have to be stopped by some user input and not by aborting the build.
I know pipelining might be needed in this case but I'm not very sure how the build history would look like as I intend to have only one build appearing in there not a bunch of builds spawned by the main one. Hopefully, I was able to make myself easy to understand.
Thank you very much.
I have a Jenkins Pipeline which runs per commit, does a build and runs some sanity tests.
Then at 8pm I want the latest successful build to carry on and run more indepth tests as part of the same pipeline.
I have looked at milestone and lock but it seem that the first commit of the day would grab the lock to wait till 8pm and then be "promoted" and then when that finished it would run the latest which doesnt work for me.
I have looked at milestone and then having a user-input to hold all the builds at the end of the first stage, but that would mean manually clicking a job at 8pm or having and external script to do it.
I've also looked at checkpoint and this doesnt appear to have the ability to do what I need either.
Can anyone suggest a groovy method for a new build to supersede an old one or plugin that would work for me?
I have a long-running job (10 hours) scheduled to run twice a day (at 11am/11pm).
I generally only want to commence the build at 11am/11pm.
If the previous build fails, I sometimes want to start the next build early (e.g. 9am).
How do I do it? If I manually kick off the build at 9am, the scheduled build will go into the queue at 11am, and will execute as soon as the first build completes. I don't want that, if I manually start, I want to skip the scheduled build.
Another way of thinking of it ... I want to ignore a scheduled (or manual) build request if there is a build in progress.
To do what I'm wanting I've added the following into conditional build steps at the start and end of the job, conditional on the Build Cause of UserCause.
jenkins.model.Jenkins.getInstance().getItem('Test').disable();
jenkins.model.Jenkins.getInstance().getItem('Test').enable();
Peter,

Above plugin will be useful for you.kindly go through the documentation.
Try this Plugin:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Block+queued+job+plugin
It will allow you to block job when last build is in progress.
I am trying to schedule a Jenkins Deployment task to run only once.
Why? So no one has to log in remotely to do after hours deployments (No Fun!)
So my question is: Is there a way to specify year within jenkins' cron syntax?
More info:
Under Build Triggers -> Build Periodically
If I schedule a build for today(Thursday, June 10th) at 10:52 AM
The cron syntax would be 52 10 10 6 2
However, the next June 10th will occur in the year 2025, so technically, the build will still be scheduled for 11 years from now, unless I manually remove the schedule.
This is not a huge problem, it just doesn't make sense to me someone hasn't come up with a solution for it yet.
I am not looking for hacks, scheduled tasks, or scripting... All of that would be more work then just manually removing the schedule. I would like to keep this completely inside of jenkins
If this is truly impossible, I will consider writing a plugin for this specific use-case.
Well after much digging I finally found it:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Schedule+Build+Plugin
It adds ^^ the schedule build button to all projects which provides a nice UI to set a date and time, instead of dealing with that ridiculous cron syntax.
Jenkins' Modo should be "There's a plugin for that"
I am using Jenkins to run a Maven project having Junit tests in Sauce Connect. I created a job and to stop/abort the build in between I clicked the Cross button (X) shown near progress bar for build execution. But the build execution does not get stopped.
When I moved to console output for the build, it was showing message as "Closing Sauce Connect" and it takesd too much time and Jenkins does not stop build process.
Could anyone please advice as to how can we manually stop/abort build execution.
Additionally, is there any site where we can find proper documentation regarding Jenkins for Beginners as i have few more problems regarding its start and stop process.
I guess it is too late to answer but my help some people.
Install the monitoring plugin. (http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Monitoring)
Go to jenkinsUrl/monitoring/nodes
Go to the Threads section at the bottom
Click on the details buttom on the left of the slave the job is build on
Sort by User time (ms)
Then look at the name of the thread, you will have the name and number of the build
Kill it
Hope it can help
Jenkins will terminate the build nicely, i.e. wait for the running processes to end after sending the termination signal. If the processes take a long time to terminate, it will wait. The easiest way is to change your build/code such that it terminates immediately, or has a timeout for closing connections etc.
Regarding more documentation, have a look at the Jenkins wiki or get the Jenkins book.
