podman-stop(1)

NAME

podman-stop - Stop one or more containers

SYNOPSIS

podman stop [options] container ...

DESCRIPTION

Stops one or more containers. You may use container IDs or names as input. The --timeout switch allows you to specify the number of seconds to wait before forcibly stopping the container after the stop command is issued to the container. The default is 10 seconds. By default, containers are stopped with SIGTERM and then SIGKILL after the timeout. The SIGTERM default can be overridden by the image used to create the container and also via command line when creating the container.

OPTIONS

--all, -a

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

--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.

The latest option is not supported on the remote client.

--timeout, --time, t=time

Timeout to wait before forcibly stopping the container
