Description

Continuum version 1.3.6. Deployed on Tomcat in Ubuntu.

I have 2 projects, say A and B. Each has shell builds defined and set to run in different queues. Number of parallel builds is set to 4.

The problem is that, when the shell build from A runs, it will not execute the build until the shell build from B is complete. it is almost like A is waiting for B to finish. Please note that maven builds are happily running in parallel in these 2 queues. It is only the shell build that has a problem.

To be sure that this is not an OS level problem, I started the build in B from Continuum and ran the shell script for A from command line and it worked fine - both ran in parallel. So, I think Continuum has a bottle neck somewhere. please help.
