How does one kill the hung agent thread in Windows install of Bamboo?

[John D Giotta]

I have a hung agent. How does one tell the thread in a WIN install of Bamboo 5.0?

[OneThousand · Accepted solution]

Install SysInternals Process Explorer on the Windows Server and find the thread in the process tree. You can kill it if you need to. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

From DOS Prompt - tasklist /FI "STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING"

That is a bit overkill. Windows/MS-DOS have built-in commands for this already, primarily taskkill.

Example to kill hanging Windows Explorer:

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe

@jason-monsorno how would one find the specific agent?

[Jason Monsorno]

Use the Windows Task Manager or tasklist like Jai suggested. taskkill can also kill a specific PID instead of all processes with that image name.

If you're referring to a local agent from inside of Bamboo, you can see the agent name from the build activity and kill it from within the admin page.
