Decouple the sending of client restart events from the restarting of the servers. Restarts use the new Tornado restart-clients endpoint to inject "restart" events into queues of clients which were loaded from the previous Tornado process. The rate is controlled by the `application_server.client_restart_rate`, in clients per minute, or a flag to `restart-clients` which overrides it. Note that a web client will also spread its restart over 5 minutes, so artificially-slow client restarts are generally not very necessary. Restarts of clients are deferred to until after post-deploy hooks are run, such that the pre- and post- deploy hooks are around the actual server restarts, even if pushing restart events to clients takes significant time.
This directory contains scripts that:
-
Generally do not require access to Django or the database (those are "management commands"), and thus are suitable to run operationally.
-
Are useful for managing a production deployment of Zulip (many are also used in a Zulip development environment, though development-only scripts live in
tools/).
