% podman-wait(1)

## NAME
podman\-wait - Wait on one or more containers to stop and print their exit codes

## SYNOPSIS
**podman wait** [*options*] *container*

**podman container wait** [*options*] *container*

## DESCRIPTION
Waits on one or more containers to stop.  The container can be referred to by its
name or ID.  In the case of multiple containers, podman will wait on each consecutively.
After the container stops, the container's return code is printed.

## OPTIONS

**--help**, **-h**

 Print usage statement

**--interval**, **-i**=*microseconds*
  Microseconds to wait before polling for completion

**--latest**, **-l**

Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman
to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.

The latest option is not supported on the remote client.

## EXAMPLES

```
$ podman wait mywebserver

$ podman wait --latest

$ podman wait 860a4b23

$ podman wait mywebserver myftpserver
```
