Reboots are fine, as long as (as you said below) the buildslaves > reconnect automatically. just FYI: I've now turned both buildslaves into Solaris SMF services, and they survived reboots. So I believe we're set on that front. One question, though: the reboots (both host and kernel zones, which are VMs effectively) took longer than the current missing_timeout of 5 minutes. Would it be possible to double that or make it per-buildslave? Thanks.
