Tom Jenkinson commented on JBTM-1906:
-------------------------------------

On windows you can send a SIGQUIT as is described in the RHKB article: https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/19170

tasklist (used in the blacktie scripts) is how you can get the pid, or maybe jps would help you too

> We do not timeout the CI runs so that someone can have the opportunity to kill -3 the Java processes when they notice that the run has hung. It is therefore possible for the rogue processes to clog up CI. Also, if we were to move to alternative CI arrangements it may be necessary to set a timeout and in that case we would not have the opportunity to be alerted of the hang.
