SLONIK RESTART NODE(7)                       Configuration and Action commands

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.

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
       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.
