Do we have evidence that this is really true? It wouldn't make sense at 
all. Aren't our tests one monolithic application that is started by a 
shell script and that executes purely on the slave (starting secondary 
JVMs as instructed by the test.xml ant scripts)?

For what its worth, Markus has tracked down some unruly unit tests 
specific to the Mac machines, that might be causing the trouble. 
We'll disable those specific tests.

I wonder if the Hudson project has any advise/opinions on if an upgrade to 
Hudson would help reduce "interference"? We are on a pretty old version. 
Bug 412933 - Should we Upgrade to Hudson 3.1.0? 

Put another way, if we can't run a Mac Machine and a Windows Machine as 
two independent slaves ... Hudson is not doing us much good :) 
And to put yet another way ... if we had to run them serially ... our 6 to 
8 hour test suites would seldom ever finish! :( 

Thanks,

I don't understand why this would be the case. The are separate physical 
machines, right? 

They are separate physical machines, but they are slaves.  As I understand 
it, slave delegation means the master is tossing Java objects around to 
the slave for execution, so the master doesn't just sit idle while the 
slave does its work.




But, back to the point of original topic, it is not so much that a "sudden 
restart caused [us] some grief" but the fact that there is no clue or 
announcement that it was done, which is the point of Bug 417457. 

So here we are, providing some clues.

Matt is restarting the master now, since it has been tied up all night.  I 
think it would be a great idea to avoid running both of those jobs at the 
same time to see if it takes care of the non-response issue.

I see 36m left for win32, 2h05 left for Mac.

Last time we've seen this David was running tests and our sudden restart 
caused him some grief.

Yep, but it's running eight builds right now, so we don't want to restart

Hang in there...
