2.42 define_node
The define_node command defines a new node, or modifies an existing node. It must be issued to a server
where the node is not running; it cannot be issued to a running node.
When using the command-line administration program to configure a node for the first time (creating the node’s
configuration file) define_node must be the first command issued.
There is no equivalent command to delete a node. If you want to remove the entire configuration of the node and
create a completely new configuration, stop the node, and then delete or rename the node’s configuration file. Next,
issue a new define_node command to the inactive node to create a new node configuration file.
