Easy Custom Logger

The default setup for the logging utility is a little unwieldy to set up for every project - though once done, it is likely to seldom change.

This snippet provides a pre-configured global logging utility allowing for a log level to be set via environment variable, as well as a pretty-print dump() log function that writes when level is set to DEBUG.

By default, logging goes to stdout, but can be redirected to a file.

Kill unkillable Groovy job

If a job is running a system groovy script, it cannot be simply "aborted"

You need to go to $jenkins_url/script and run the contents of the attched script, replacing the original job_line content with the path (from URL) of your job

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	QUOTED_ARRAY="-Djava=\"one 'and' two\" -Djavax=\"three four\""
	while IFS= read -r -d '' item; do echo "$item"; done < <(xargs printf '%s\0' <<< "$QUOTED_ARRAY")

	# Output:

	# -Djava=one 'and' two
	# -Djavax=three four
