SLONIK RESTART NODE(7) Configuration and Action commandsSLONIK 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 criti‐
cal 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.
SLONIK EVENT CONFIRMATION BEHAVIOUR
Slonik does not wait for event confirmations before performing this
command
VERSION INFORMATION
This command was introduced in Slony-I 1.0; frequent use became unnec‐
essary 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.
