SLON_WATCHDOG(1)

πŸ’– SLON_WATCHDOG(1) β€” the Slony-I administration script πŸ’–

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about slon_watchdog, a little script from the Slony-I family (that's the manual it lives in, SLON_WATCHDOG(1)) 🐢✨


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

slon_watchdog β€” a Slony-I administration script. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "small script, big responsibilities" πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

slon_watchdog [OPTION]... | slonik
slon_watchdog --help

so like, either you pipe it into slonik, or you ask it for --help. two paths, both valid, main character energy either way πŸ¦‹


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so slon_watchdog is literally part of a whole suite of scripts whose entire job is making it less painful to administer a set of Slony-I instances. it's the friend who organizes the group chat so nobody has to suffer πŸ™ˆ

the complete documentation lives at:

file:///usr/share/doc/slony1-2-doc/adminguide/adminscripts.html#ALTPERL

and that's inside the package slony1-2-doc. go read it, i'm not kidding, it's lowkey important πŸ“š

also check out:

file:///usr/share/doc/slony1-bin/README.Debian.gz

for additional information on how these scripts integrate with the Debian packaging. yes, the Debian of it all. the packaging lore. it's there, it's real, it's in a .gz πŸ’…

heads up: both of those are file:// URLs, so you're opening local files, not some random website. copy them exactly as written, bestie, character for character πŸ”₯
