I have had problems with MAC’s when they go into idle power down mode. I disable that mode.

The jobs say "Waiting for next available executor on ...". We have around 40 slave nodes and sometimes end up with 30 or so idle nodes and a long queue of jobs that won't start. The workaround is to click "Disconnect" in the web UI which will cause the node to reconnect and as soon at it is reconnected, Jenkins will run a job from the queue on that node. Everything can work fine for a couple of days and then suddenly machines are idle and we need to reconnect all idle nodes again. (I tried calling disconnect() from Groovy on all idle nodes, but that was a very bad idea, as the nodes did not reconnect again and instead had to be manually restarted.) Any ideas as to what might cause this behavior and how we can prevent this situation to occur over and over again? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
