LXC-STOP(1)LXC-STOP(1)NAMElxc-stop - stop the application running inside a container
SYNOPSISlxc-stop-n name [ -W ] [ -r ] [ -t timeout ] [ -k ] [ --nokill ]
[ --nolock ]
DESCRIPTIONlxc-stop reboots, cleanly shuts down, or kills all the processes inside
the container. By default, it will request a clean shutdown of the con‐
tainer by sending lxc.haltsignal (defaults to SIGPWR) to the con‐
tainer's init process, waiting up to 60 seconds for the container to
exit, and then returning. If the container fails to cleanly exit in 60
seconds, it will be sent the lxc.stopsignal (defaults to SIGKILL) to
force it to shut down.
The [-W], [-r], [-k] and [--nokill] options specify the action to per‐
form. [-W] indicates that after performing the specified action, lxc-
stop should immediately exit, while [-t TIMEOUT] specifies the maximum
amount of time to wait for the container to complete the shutdown or
reboot.
OPTIONS-r,--reboot
Request a reboot of the container.
-k,--kill
Rather than requesting a clean shutdown of the container,
explicitly kill all tasks in the container. This is the legacy
lxc-stop behavior.
--nokill
Only request a clean shutdown, do not kill the container tasks
if the clean shutdown fails.
--nolock
This option avoids the use of any of the API lxc locking, and
should only be used if lxc-stop is hanging due to a bad system
state.
-W,--nowait
Simply perform the requestion action (reboot, shutdown, or hard
kill) and exit.
-t,--timeout TIMEOUT
Wait TIMEOUT seconds before hard-stopping the container.
EXIT VALUE
0 The container was successfully stopped.
1 An error occurred while stopping the container.
2 The specified container exists but was not running.
DIAGNOSTIC
The container was not found
The specified container was not created before with the lxc-cre‐
ate command.
