Is it possible to manually build a job with a delayed start? I.e. Can I easily do "build this job in 8 hours"?

I can set a weird schedule to run it like once a year, but it really seems like a hack.

  • I have a requirement that is probably similar to yours. Job AAA gets run (at an ad-hoc time by req) and I want Job BBB to run about 30 minutes after that. But using the sleep period, or using a delay task - either keep an executor occupied. Scheduler Plugin might accommodate this case. I think that Ian W's link shows the best approach. Question: Will that keep an executor occupied? – Pete Kelley Apr 06 '23 at 13:02

Just install the plugin scheduler plugin https://plugins.jenkins.io/schedule-build/

    I'm trying to avoid Jenkins plugins as they get out-dated, abandoned or deprecated too often. – Moberg May 08 '23 at 16:18
