I have a lot of jobs in jenkins and we have decided to make some wide ranging changes to all of them which will be very tedious to change through the UI. It would be much easier to edit them using scripts on the jenkins master machine but I'm not sure how to get jenkins to recognize changes to the the config.xml that haven't come through the UI or another api.
Is there a way to get jenkins to refresh job configurations from disk? Or a better way of mass editing jobs?

The config. xml file contains information about Jenkins like version, Pipeline information, owner, etc. It also contains the workspace Directory path, builds Directory path.
So one can get the various configuration options for Jenkins by clicking the 'Manage Jenkins' option from the left hand menu side. Click on Configure system.
Under the "Managr Hudson" option, there's a "Reload Configuration from Disk" item that will do what you want - re-reads the config.xml for projects while Hudson is running. You can always restart Hudson to get the same effect.
