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)?

Answer 1

The version of java has to be 1.6 (latest) or newer for Jenkins 1.531 that I am using.

For one of my slave nodes I found that I had to set the Java path in the 'Launch method' Advanced button 'JavaPath' for the node before this would work correctly. The issue was that the node kept using an older version of Java which I was not able to upgrade.
