Adding:
--postpone-shutdown-flag-file
: If indicated file exists, and assuming execution is successful,gh-ost
will wait after cut-over, and after running the success hooks, instead of exiting. This can be useful in state based environments where we may wish to askgh-ost
wat the state of the migration is, as opposed to assuming it reports the state via hooks. This gives a controller/operator the chance to communicate togh-ost
and confirm that the migration is successful. See also thestate
server command.state
server command: returnsRunning
orComplete
. For the latter, see--postpone-shutdown-flag-file
