Bash – How to restart Jetty on a Jenkins slave node

bashJenkinsjetty

I am trying to deploy a .war on a Jenkins slave node that is running Jetty using an execute shell build step. To do this I am running the following in my shell command.

/etc/init.d/jetty restart

It starts Jetty successfully, but as soon as the Jenkins job finishes it stops. As I was trouble shooting this, I put a long sleep in the shell build step, and Jetty ran the entire time during the sleep, so I know it has something to do with exiting the shell after the job completes.

Is there any way to keep Jetty running after the shell exits in Jenkins?

I have tried using this but it doesn't do the trick.

nohup /etc/init.d/jetty restart &

its actually piss-poor-simple:

echo "/etc/init.d/jetty restart"| at now

Linux – How to sort du -h output by size

As of GNU coreutils 7.5 released in August 2009, sort allows a -h parameter, which allows numeric suffixes of the kind produced by du -h:

du -hs * | sort -h

If you are using a sort that does not support -h, you can install GNU Coreutils. E.g. on an older Mac OS X:

brew install coreutils
du -hs * | gsort -h

From sort manual:

-h, --human-numeric-sort compare human readable numbers (e.g., 2K 1G)
