How to reload hudson configuration without restarting?

Question

I have a large task ahead of me...modifying several hudson jobs\' configuration. What I would want is to do it from command line. But per my experience, hudson will not re-r

Answer 1

Extending on the idea of Andreas Panagiotidis, there's now a simpler and cleaner way to reload the configuration of a single Item

import jenkins.model.Jenkins;

def job_path = 'folder1/folder2/job_name'

Jenkins j = Jenkins.get()

def job = j.getItemByFullName(job_path)

if (job) {
  job.doReload()
}

Note that the path may simply be 'job_name'.
