<p>To restart Jenkins manually, you can use either of the following commands (by entering their URL in a browser):</p>

<p><code>(jenkins_url)/safeRestart</code> - Allows all running jobs to complete. New jobs will remain in the queue to run after the restart is complete.</p>

<p><code>(jenkins_url)/restart</code> - Forces a restart without waiting for builds to complete.</p>

I've always thought they should have named 'safeRestart' to 'restart' and the 'restart' command to 'forceRestart'. It seems dangerous to have restart be the less safe option, but thats just me :)

To restart Jenkins manually, you can use either of the following commands (by entering their URL in a browser):

`(jenkins_url)/safeRestart` - Allows all running jobs to complete. New jobs will remain in the queue to run after the restart is complete.

`(jenkins_url)/restart` - Forces a restart without waiting for builds to complete.
