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