SLON_WATCHDOG(1)
π SLON_WATCHDOG(1) β the Slony-I administration script π
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)) πΆβ¨
π NAME π
slon_watchdog β a Slony-I administration script. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "small script, big responsibilities" π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
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 π¦
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
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 π
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 π
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 π
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 π₯
