Not able to restart Jenkins manually. Already tried all below ways:

  1. http://localhost:8080/safeRestart
    Error message: Jenkins cannot restart itself as currently configured.

  2. Manage Jenkins → Restart Safely Plugin.
    Error message: Jenkins cannot restart itself as currently configured.

  3. Not able to find any Jenkins Service in services.msc.

  4. Navigate to jenkins-cli directory in CMD mode

    java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://[jenkins-server]/ restart
    

    See below screenshot for error message:

Use command line to stop and start

net stop jenkins
net start jenkins

1) Click "Start" button 2) Find and right-click Command Prompt. Then choose Run as administrator. 3) Execute the command "net stop jenkins" and "net start jenkins"

This will definitely works.

On windows, goto Run-> type "cmd" and navigate to your jenkins installation path. Then perform the following list of commands:

To stop the jenkins:

jenkins.exe stop

To start the jenkins:

jenkins.exe start

To restart the jenkins:

jenkins.exe restart

Note:if you get an error then run the command as administrator..

Hope this will be helpful..
