Jenkins is nice but you should be careful.

Once I had a job that went stray and got the disk full with logs. Since Jenkins couldn't write to the disk anymore, it stopped working completely and thus no jobs and more importantly no notifications. Funny thing, there was one job to monitor the free disk space but the stray app wrote ~100GB in less than 15 minutes (damn SSDs :p).

Another time (times actually), I had the OOM killer kill a jenkins related process. Being a JVM based app and starting with about 1GB of RAM use, doesn't help I guess. This lead Jenkins to hang on a job; timeout didn't work, I couldn't even stop the job manually. Other jobs wouldn't start and no notifications would be sent again.
