Vagrant aborted at end of Jenkins job

I've been having this problem for a while. Vagrant boxes abort at the end of a Jenkins job. I've limited the job to just a script with

vagrant up
sleep 60

For 60 seconds vagrant boxes are running, but the second the job finishes vagrant boxes are aborted.

Maybe you are using an older version of the Jenkins plugin, but now it contains a checkbox called 'Don't Kill Me'. You have to check this to keep the vm up.

'jenkins config'

This behaviour is caused by the Jenkins process tree killer. I got it to work by running Jenkins as follows:

java -Dhudson.util.ProcessTree.disable=true -jar jenkins-1.537.war

Another (less global) work-around is to run vagrant as follows:

BUILD_ID=dontKillMe vagrant up

Makes sense in retrospect. Processes launched by a Jenkins job should be cleaned up at the end. Of course this would be a "gotcha" is you're attempting to use Jenkins to launch long running processes.

+1 for this question.
