When running Kubernetes agents, upon shutting them down (not sure how that is related), I sometimes get the following stacktrace
AVERTISSEMENT: failed to shut down 1c62c2d9-920c-479c-94fe-9292dea21a67

My interpretation is that loading SlaveComputer on the agent JVM causes ServletException to be pulled (because it is in the signature of several methods of Computer).
I believe moving the method over to a separate utility class without ties to ServletException would prevent this problem to occur.
