I issued a install plugin command to install a plugin .jpi file on my local box using Jenkins CLI onto the Jenkins instance in the Data Center.

The command returned 0 (success) but it only copied the .jpi plugin file in the ${JENKINS_HOME}/plugins directory. I am thinking that it should copy, and install it right away without restart.

Command issue:
bash-3.2$ ./install-plugin1.sh sjc-bld120-lnx timestamper.jpi
jenkins = sjc-bld120-lnx
login to sjc-bld120-lnx ...
installing timestamper.jpi to sjc-bld120-lnx ...
Installing a plugin from local file: /Users/ingunawa/Data/Jenkins/plugins/timestamper.jpi
bash-3.2$ echo $?
0

the bash script simply login me with my credential and install-plugin; I am administrator of the Jenkins:

java -jar /Users/ingunawa/Data/Jenkins/jenkins-cli.jar -s http://$n:8080 login --username ingunawa --password-file cec-password.txt

java -jar /Users/ingunawa/Data/Jenkins/jenkins-cli.jar -s http://$n:8080 install-plugin /Users/ingunawa/Data/Jenkins/plugins/$PLUGIN;
