Jenkins on Linux can not restart after plugin update

XMLWordPrintable

      Jenkins can not restart after plugin update if jenkins' java is started with 'java' and without full path.

      It doesn't rexec itself with the following logs:
      Warnung: Failed to restart Jenkins
      java.io.IOException: Failed to exec 'java' Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
      at hudson.lifecycle.UnixLifecycle.restart(UnixLifecycle.java:84)
      at jenkins.model.Jenkins$24.run(Jenkins.java:3337)

      It seems to be caused by this recent change:
      https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/commit/547d4ed8d35de6be4b2788e4816019bb8cc94902#diff-1df54b5ad5f99455e21579688db5be50

      From a quick look I guess this could be fixed by using execvp instead of execv as below:

      • LIBC.execv(exe, new StringArray(args.toArray(new String[args.size()])));
        + LIBC.execvp(exe, new StringArray(args.toArray(new String[args.size()])));

      I understand that for those calling java as /usr/bin/java the execv approach should work, but without the full path it should still work IMHO.

      Thanks,
      Simon
