LIGHTNING-DISCONNECT(7) Manual Page

lightning-disconnect - Command for disconnecting from another lightning node.

SYNOPSIS

disconnect id [force]

DESCRIPTION

The disconnect RPC command closes an existing connection to a peer, identified by id, in the Lightning Network, as long as it doesn’t have an active channel. If force is set then it will disconnect even with an active channel.

The id can be discovered in the output of the listpeers command, which returns a set of peers:

{
     "peers": [
          {
               "id": "0563aea81...",
               "connected": true,
               ...
          }
     ]
}

Passing the id attribute of a peer to disconnect will terminate the connection.

RETURN VALUE

On success, an empty object is returned.

ERRORS

If id is invalid, an error message will be returned:

{ "code" : -1, "message" : "Peer not connected" }

If the peer has an active channel and force is not set, an error message will be returned:

{ "code" : -1, "message" : "Peer is in state CHANNELD_NORMAL" }
