lightning-askrene-disable-node -- Command to disable all channels to/from a node in a layer

SYNOPSIS

askrene-disable-node layer node

DESCRIPTION

Command added in v24.11.

The askrene-disable-node RPC command tells askrene to disable all channels connected to a node whenever the given layer is used. This is mainly useful to force the use of alternate paths: while individual channels can be disabled using askrene-create-channel or askrene-inform-channel, that would be racy if new channels appeared.

layer (string): The name of the layer to apply this change to.
node (pubkey): The node to disable. It does not need to exist.

RETURN VALUE

On success, an empty object is returned.
