Synopsis
The pgd node stop command stops the Postgres instance on a node, using pg_ctl directly. It doesn't require systemd or another service manager to be configured on the node.
Users and roles
Runs pg_ctl stop as an OS-level operation and doesn't check any PGD or Postgres role. Run the command as the OS user that owns the node's data directory. See User roles.
Syntax
pgd node <NODE_NAME> stop [OPTIONS]
Where <NODE_NAME> is the name of the node to stop.
