slonik restart node(7)
NAME
RESTART NODE - Restart Slony-I node
SYNOPSIS
RESTART NODE options;
DESCRIPTION
Causes an eventually running replication daemon (slon process) on the
specified node to shutdown and restart itself. Theoretically, this command should be obsolete. In practice, TCP timeouts can delay critical
configuration changes to actually happen in the case where a former
forwarding node failed and needs to be bypassed by subscribers.
- ID = ival
- Node ID of the node to restart.
EXAMPLE
RESTART NODE ( ID = 2 );
LOCKING BEHAVIOUR
No application-visible locking should take place.
VERSION INFORMATION
- This command was introduced in Slony-I 1.0; frequent use became unnecessary as of version 1.0.5. There are, however, occasional cases where
it is necessary to interrupt a slon process, and this allows this to be
scripted via slonik.
