I've just started working with Jenkins and have run into a problem. After installing several plugins it said it needs to be restarted and went into a "shutting down" mode, but never restarts.
How do I do a manual restart?
To restart Jenkins manually, you can use either of the following commands (by entering their URL in a browser):
(jenkins_url)/safeRestart
- Allows all running jobs to complete. New jobs will remain in the queue to run after the restart is complete.
(jenkins_url)/restart
- Forces a restart without waiting for builds to complete.
