Setup Jenkins to autostart after windows restart/reboot

Hello folks

Recently, I need to setup Jenkins as implementation for automation test on browser on different OS.

One of the problem is that when I restart the master node, the Jenkins is restarted too but almost all of the jobs and builds.

If you met this problem, I have a workaround.

Instead of auto run the Jenkins like configuration in jenkins.xml, I run the batch file after the windows restarted automatically.

We will need to do 2 things.

1.Disable the auto run for jenkins in jenkins.xml

jenkins.xml as in my case is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins

jenkins.xml file looks like this:

 <service> <id>Jenkins</id>  <name>Jenkins</name>  <description>This service runs Jenkins automation server.</description>  <env name="JENKINS_HOME" value="%BASE%"/> <!-- if you'd like to run Jenkins with a specific version of Java, specify a full path to java.exe. The following value assumes that you have java in your PATH. --> <executable>%BASE%\jre\bin\java</executable> <arguments>-Xrs -Xmx256m -Dhudson.lifecycle=hudson.lifecycle.WindowsServiceLifecycle -jar "%BASE%\jenkins.war" --httpPort=8080 --webroot="%BASE%\war"</arguments> ``` You need to clear the argument value like this <arguments></arguments> 2.Create the batch file: In my case it looks like: ````javascript cd\ cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins java -Dhudson.util.ProcessTree.disable="true" -Dhudson.model.DirectoryBrowserSupport.CSP="sandbox allow-scripts; default-src 'none'; img-src 'self' data: ; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' data: ; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' ;" -jar jenkins.war ``` Open notepad application -> save the file.bat like above Then put the bat file into startup folder Click on windows icon -> go to Run -> type shell:startup -> run ![Alt Text](https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/d93ofsv4i1r2d1i57jej.PNG) Put the bat file into that folder. ![Alt Text](https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/29s4ttjjuyy9hoglol46.PNG) And next time you restarted the windows, jenkins will restart too. ![Alt Text](https://thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i/jbj0bhr9zhx0mgv70ksp.PNG) I hope this will help you.
