pg_autoctl stop¶
pg_autoctl stop - signal the pg_autoctl service for it to stop
Synopsis¶
This commands stops the processes needed to run a monitor node or a keeper
node, depending on the configuration file that belongs to the --pgdata
option or PGDATA
environment variable.
usage: pg_autoctl stop [ --pgdata --fast --immediate ]
--pgdata path to data directory
--fast fast shutdown mode for the keeper
--immediate immediate shutdown mode for the keeper
Description¶
The pg_autoctl stop
commands finds the PID of the running service for
the given --pgdata
, and if the process is still running, sends a
SIGTERM
signal to the process.
When pg_autoclt
receives a shutdown signal a shutdown sequence is
triggered. Depending on the signal received, an operation that has been
started (such as a state transition) is either run to completion, stopped as
the next opportunity, or stopped immediately even when in the middle of the
transition.
Options¶
- --pgdata
Location of the Postgres node being managed locally. Defaults to the environment variable
PGDATA
. Use--monitor
to connect to a monitor from anywhere, rather than the monitor URI used by a local Postgres node managed withpg_autoctl
.- --fast
Fast Shutdown mode for
pg_autoctl
. Sends theSIGINT
signal to the running service, which is the same as usingC-c
on an interactive process running as a foreground shell job.- --immediate
Immediate Shutdown mode for
pg_autoctl
. Sends theSIGQUIT
signal to the running service.
Environment¶
PGDATA
Postgres directory location. Can be used instead of the
--pgdata
option.
PG_AUTOCTL_MONITOR
Postgres URI to connect to the monitor node, can be used instead of the
--monitor
option.
