Jenkins, using a pre-build lock sharing plugin such as
This plugin is useful, but we often have situations when the plugin times out well before a job has actually been running for the period set.
We use the "Locks and Latches" plugin, and sometimes a lock cause the build to have to wait for a while.
What would be really nice is if the timeout countdown didn't start until the job actually obtained the lock it was waiting for.
Try use Throttle Concurrent Builds Plugin.
That makes jobs waiting in the queue, and build-timeout does not start till builds really start.
