Hi,

Is there any way to change the *master* without restarting the *standby*
server.

Postgresql Documentation says,
-->Recovery.conf file only read on the startup in standby mode. In that
file we specify the "Masterip".
-->If you want to change the master we need to change the recovery.conf
file and restart the standby node.
but,
*I Need to change masterip without restarting the standby node.*

No. Restart the standby, documentation is clear here. Your need is
different from what can be done.
