SLONIK RESTART NODE
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.
