]> @LXC_GENERATE_DATE@ lxc-stop 1 lxc-stop stop the application running inside a container lxc-stop -n name -W -r -t timeout -k -s lxc-stop reboots, cleanly shuts down, or kills all the processes inside the container. By default, it will request a clean shutdown of the container (by sending SIGPWR to the container), wait 60 seconds for the container to exit, and returns. If the container fails to cleanly exit, then after 60 seconds the container will be sent the lxc.stopsignal to force it to shut down. The -W, -r, -s and -k options specify the action to perform. -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. -r,--reboot Request a reboot of the container. -s,--shutdown Only request a clean shutdown, do not kill the container tasks if the clean shutdown fails. -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. --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 of (in the reboot case) returning failure. The container was not found The specified container was not created before with the lxc-create command. &seealso; Daniel Lezcano daniel.lezcano@free.fr
