Jenkins : Monitor and Restart Offline Slaves

This script can monitor and restart offline nodes if they are not disconnected manually.

Of course you can disable email notification. Thanks author for email notification.

You can run this script in Jenkins Console. But I think it is good idea to create Jenkins task, which will be run periodically (for example hourly). Groovy Plugin needs for Jenkins jobs.
