In our current jenkins installation (using a war file running inside jetty on ubuntu) whenever we try to do a safeRestart or a restart it hangs displaying a page "Please wait while Jenkins is restarting"

This never finishes and we have to restart jetty manually.

This is what we see in the logs:

WARNING: Failed to restart Jenkins
java.io.IOException: Failed to exec 'jsvc.exec' No such file or directory
    at hudson.lifecycle.UnixLifecycle.restart(UnixLifecycle.java:84)
    at jenkins.model.Jenkins$23.run(Jenkins.java:3418)

Any ideas? Thanks

I followed the steps at this link (we use Bitnami Jenkins) to increase Xms to 512 and Xmx to 1024 and restarted Jenkins. This seems to have fixed the issue for me. I haven't seen the Exception in the logs for some time now.

So it seem that it was probably just a JVM memory allocation issue. Try increasing Xms and Xmx JVM args for your Jenkins instance and see if that helps.
