so a node can resume normal operations.

[[delete-shutdown-api-request]]
==== {api-request-title}

`DELETE _nodes/<node-id>/shutdown`

[[delete-shutdown-api-prereqs]]
==== {api-prereq-title}

* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have the `manage`
<<privileges-list-cluster,cluster privilege>> to use this API.

* If the <<operator-privileges,{operator-feature}>> is enabled,
you must be an operator to use this API.

[[delete-shutdown-api-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}

Enables a node to resume normal operations following a
<<put-shutdown, put shutdown>> request.
You must explicitly clear the shutdown request when a node rejoins the cluster,
or when a node has permanently left the cluster. Shutdown requests are never
removed automatically by {es}.

==== {api-examples-title}

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
}
--------------------------------------------------
