# oz0-node drain

> Usage and flags for oz0-node drain.

For: Operators and developers looking up a command.

Ask the node that runs with this data directory to drain, as it does when it is stopped: it takes no new job and starts no new session, and what runs finishes within its stop grace. The node keeps running; stop it afterwards, and its stop waits only for what is left of the same grace. With --wait, return once nothing runs there or the grace has passed. A Kubernetes pod's preStop hook runs this.

## Usage

```bash
oz0-node drain [flags]
```
