Error - Jenkins detected running multiple instances
hudson, jenkins
Solution
Stop your Jenkins service. Then use the Windows task manager or better the Sysinternals Process Explorer to kill all Jenkins processes. The numbers at the beginning of "1264@< MachineName >" and "13424@< MachineName >" indicate the id of the processes you need to kill. After that you should be able to start the Jenkins service again.
Problem
I am running Jenkins as windows service. It was all good, suddenly from today noon I started seeing the following error while opening it. Jenkins detected that you appear to be running more than one instance of Jenkins that share the same home directory '’. This greatly confuses Jenkins and you will likely experience strange behaviors, so please correct the situation. This Jenkins: 17485453 contextPath="" at 1264@< MachineName > Other Jenkins: 15621395 contextPath="" at 13424@< MachineName > How this occurs? Any help to solve this? Any help is appreciated !!
