% podman-kill(1)

NAME

podman-kill - Kill the main process in one or more containers

SYNOPSIS

podman kill [options] [container …]

podman container kill [options] [container …]

DESCRIPTION

The main process inside each container specified will be sent SIGKILL, or any signal specified with option –signal.

OPTIONS

--all, -a

Signal all running containers. This does not include paused containers.

--cidfile

Read container ID from the specified file and remove the container. Can be specified multiple times.

--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. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client)

--signal, -s

Signal to send to the container. For more information on Linux signals, refer to man signal(7).

EXAMPLE

podman kill mywebserver

podman kill 860a4b23

podman kill –signal TERM 860a4b23

podman kill –latest

podman kill –signal KILL -a

podman kill –cidfile /home/user/cidfile-1

podman kill –cidfile /home/user/cidfile-1 –cidfile ./cidfile-2
