podman-kill(1)

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

podman kill [options] [container ...]

podman container kill [options] [container ...]

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.

--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.

--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
