LXC-KILL(1)							   LXC-KILL(1)

NAME
       lxc-kill - Send a signal to the process 1 of the container.

SYNOPSIS
       lxc-kill --name=NAME SIGNUM

DESCRIPTION
       lxc-kill send the SIGNUM signal to the first process of the container.

       The SIGNUM is a numeric value, the signal name is not supported.

       If this command is used on an application container ran by lxc-execute,
       the lxc-init will receive the signal and will forward it to the process
       2  which	 is the command specified in the command line. See lxc-execute
       (1).  Obviously the SIGKILL and SIGSTOP signals are not able to be for‐
       warded, (as per the signal(7) man page).

COMMON OPTIONS
       These options are common to most of lxc commands.

       -?, -h, --help
	      Print a longer usage message than normal.

       --usage
	      Give the usage message

       -q, --quiet
	      mute on

       -o, --logfile=FILE
	      Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no log.

       -l, --logpriority=LEVEL
	      Set  log	priority  to LEVEL. The default log priority is ERROR.
	      Possible values are : FATAL, CRIT, WARN,	ERROR,	NOTICE,	 INFO,
	      DEBUG.

	      Note  that this option is setting the priority of the events log
	      in the alternate log file. It do not have effect	on  the	 ERROR
	      events log on stderr.

       -n, --name=NAME
	      Use  container identifier NAME.  The container identifier format
	      is an alphanumeric string.

EXAMPLES
       To send the signal 26 to the process pi1 running in container 123 :

	     lxc-execute -n 123 -- pi1 -d 500000
	     lxc-kill --name=123 26
