.SH "NAME"
lightning-disconnect \- Command for disconnecting from another lightning node\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBdisconnect\fR \fIid\fR [\fIforce\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The disconnect RPC command closes an existing connection to a peer, identified by \fIid\fR, in the Lightning Network, as long as it doesn\(cqt have an active channel\&. If \fIforce\fR is set then it will disconnect even with an active channel\&.
.sp
The \fIid\fR can be discovered in the output of the listpeers command, which returns a set of peers:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
{
     "peers": [
          {
               "id": "0563aea81\&.\&.\&.",
               "connected": true,
               \&.\&.\&.
          }
     ]
}
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
Passing the \fIid\fR attribute of a peer to \fIdisconnect\fR will terminate the connection\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
On success, an empty object is returned\&.
.SH "ERRORS"
.sp
If \fIid\fR is invalid, an error message will be returned:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
{ "code" : \-1, "message" : "Peer not connected" }
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
If the peer has an active channel and \fIforce\fR is not set, an error message will be returned:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
{ "code" : \-1, "message" : "Peer is in state CHANNELD_NORMAL" }
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
