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.
