I see all too often that builds fail because the JVM process runs out of PermGen space. Up until today I'd assumed that was a problem on the build agents. However, today I bounced my Mac mini (latest victim of this problem) and... nothing happened. But when I bounced _Jenkins_ the build succeeded.
Jenkins, being a Java process, does have a bunch of knobs that can be used to adjust GC. How does Jenkins get started? What keeps it running?
Or, meta-question, how can I find this out for myself, and reduce the noise on the list? :)
