Deployment Architecture

Is there a curl command to execute a rolling restart in a search head cluster?

From the docs http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/DistSearch/RestartSHC

One has to identify the search head cluster captain before initiating a rolling restart.

Is there a curl command to execute the same command (splunk rolling-restart shcluster-members) on the search head captain without having to run "splunk show shcluster-status -auth admin:splunker"?

Hi, Ben. Lots of Splunkers in the US are out of the office this week for holidays and I don't know the answer to your question myself. I will try to locate someone who can help.

I want to mimic what the deployer does when initiating a rolling restart, but from another node.

This documentation shows when when applying the search head cluster bundle, there will be a prompt for rolling restart.
