== Rebooting a slave ==
Logon to the machine, reboot it. Buildbot will come back up on boot.


== Intermittent Burning (not related to checkins) ==
== Clobbering a slave ==
This is often caused by a single slave having a problem such as a host key not accepted, out of disk space, etc.
Find the slave/builder combination on https://build.mozilla.org/clobberer/index.php and use the form to trigger a clobber. The next time that slave does the selected build, it will clobber first.
* If the problem is obvious (eg, hanging on a host key):
*# Log into the failing slave as 'cltbld'
*# Accept the host key/free some space(1)/whatever.
* If you don't know what the problem is:
*# Login to the slave as 'cltbld'
*# Stop the slave with 'buildbot stop /builds/moz2_slave'
*# Notify someone in RelEng to investigate further.
*# Note: Unless 3 or more slaves from a platform are failing the tree does not need to be closed.
 
(1) Slaves sometimes run out of disk space because of failed nightly builds that did not clean-up after themselves. Here's a helper script to clean those up:
for i in `find /builds/moz2_slave -maxdepth 1 -iname "*-nightly" -type d`; do find $i -maxdepth 1 -type d -iname build -exec rm -rf {} \;; done
== Fixing Failing Builds (clobber steps) ==
'''Login as cltbld with VNC (only use SSH if you do not need to start/stop any processes)'''
 
Clobber the failing slave and force a new build. (Note: forcing a new build will not necessarily cause a build on the failing slave. This is OK.)
# Find the hostname in the Tinderbox log (look for 'Building on: XXX' where 'XXX' is a hostname)
# Login to the slave using provided credentials (VNC for Mac).
## Go to the builder directory /builds/moz2_slave/$builder_name [where $builder_name matches the name of the failing build on Tinderbox]
## Delete the subdirectory named 'build'.
## Force a new build
### Click on the appropriate column title on the Waterfall (eg. 'OS X 10.5.2 mozilla-central build')
### Fill out the Force Build form. 'Branch to build' MUST be specified (branch name is part of the builders name. eg, mozilla-central or actionmonkey).
### Click 'Force Build'.
## If the next build doesn't go green, contact RelEng.
 
== Builds not happening at all ==
'''Make sure all slaves are connected'''
Note: do NOT use the 'Ping Builder' button on the Waterfall, it will break future builds
# Go to the Buildslave List page.
# For any slaves that are listed as 'NOT connected' we need to connect the slave:
## Login to the slave using provided credentials (VNC for Mac).
### Start Terminal if not already running.
### Start Buildbot with 'buildbot start /builds/moz2_slave'
### Minimize the Terminal window (do NOT close it).
 
Wait 30 seconds and check the Buildslave List page again.
If slaves still aren't connected contact RelEng.
 
 
'''It is almost always a bad idea to reboot the buildmaster VM. It runs multiple Buildbot masters. Unless it is completely unreachable please do not restart this machine without talking to someone from RelEng first.'''
