I have a Hudson job with 2 tasks. If I start task A and then start task B while task A is still running, then task B will not start running until task A has finished. I have no locking on this job (i.e. "Locks" option is not ticked). How do I enable this job so that task A and task B will run simultaneously?

So are you trying to run the same job twice, or do you have two jobs with the same name, or are you trying to run task A at the same time as task B (what is a task?) and it does not work? – stefanB Jun 04 '09 at 04:16

They are "batch tasks" which are like subsections of your build job. They appear when you install the Batch Task plugin (http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Batch+Task+Plugin). So job "BUILDME" has two batch tasks - buildme-a and buildme-b. What I want to be able to do is have buildme-a and buildme-b run simulataneously. But at present, Hudson runs one, waits till its finished, and then runs the other. – Jun 04 '09 at 11:53

The Batch Tasks plugin treats tasks as basically steps in a queue so, at present, I doubt you can have them run simulataneously.
If you want two tasks to run simultaneously (all the time?), when not just put those tasks as external scripts and then create a task to run them both at the same time?

Normal builds and batch jobs have an implicit lock on the workspace - you wouldn't want the build to start in the middle of your batch job and wipe out the workspace, so this make sense. You could argue for a selection between shared and exclusive workspace locking when running the batch jobs. At present, it's always exclusive, as you've noticed.
