Jenkins slave jobs failing on “Unexpected termination of channel”

Question

I am currently seeing a set of errors across my builds.

Is this expected behaviour if you loose Jenkins (say to a box crash, or a kill -9)?

Or is there somet

Answer 1

Since 1.520, Jenkins requires Java 6 or later, one of the possibility of this error is that you dont have java 6 or later on slave/remote. Resolution is to update your remote machine with java 6 or later or set correct environment variable which SSH uses while it logs in into slave machine.
