Prepare a node to be restarted:

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT /_nodes/USpTGYaBSIKbgSUJR2Z9lg/shutdown
{
  "type": "restart",
  "reason": "Demonstrating how the node shutdown API works"
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:node]
// TEST[s/USpTGYaBSIKbgSUJR2Z9lg/\$node_name/]

Cancel the shutdown preparations or clear the shutdown request
after restarting:

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
DELETE /_nodes/USpTGYaBSIKbgSUJR2Z9lg/shutdown
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[continued]
// TEST[s/USpTGYaBSIKbgSUJR2Z9lg/\$node_name/]

Which returns the following response:

[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
    "acknowledged": true
}
