Hi All, I have been reading through Slony 1.2.16 documentation and doing a number of experiments on trying to understand the slon daemon and slon_watchdog. In the documentation, it mentions a few ways to start the slon daemon. Ways to start slon daemon: 1. slon_start NodeID (with standard config file located at /usr/local/slony/etc/slon_tools.conf) 2. launch_clusters.sh (with standard config file located at $MKDESTINATION/$SLONYCLUSTER/conf/nodeid.conf and generated by mkslonconf.sh) 3. start_slon.sh start (missing in Slony 1.2.16) Ways to stop slon daemon: 1. slon_kill NodeID (with standard config file located at /usr/local/slony/etc/slon_tools.conf) 2. do a "ps aux" to get the PID of the slon daemon and issuing kill to kill off the daemon(s) 3. start_slon.sh stop (missing in Slony 1.2.16) Questions: 1. Is there a common config file for the slon daemon to be started and stopped? 2. Can I customize the config file slon_tools.conf with the options for the slon daemon? If yes, any sample config to follow or I can take the options generated by mkslonconf.sh and use it in the slon_tools.conf? 3. How can I intregrate the slon daemon script for use in /etc/init.d with start/stop function? 4. Is the procedure for killing the slon daemon the correct way to do thing? 5. If the slon daemon is started by the launch_clusters.sh script, is killing the proccess the only way to do it? 6. Can the start_slon.sh script be usable for Slony 1.2.16? 7. When the slon daemon is stopped, will it be reflected in the postgres cluster database? Which table can I see the info?
