podman-pod-kill(1)

NAME

podman-pod-kill - Kill the main process of each container in one or more pods

SYNOPSIS

podman pod kill [options] pod ...

DESCRIPTION

The main process of each container inside the pods specified will be sent SIGKILL, or any signal specified with option --signal.

OPTIONS

  --all, -a

Sends signal to all containers associated with a pod.

  --latest, -l

Instead of providing the pod name or ID, use the last created pod. If you use methods other than Podman to run pods such as CRI-O, the last started pod could be from either of those methods. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

  --signal, -s=signal

Signal to send to the containers in the pod. For more information on Linux signals, refer to signal(7). The default is SIGKILL.

EXAMPLE

Kill pod with a given name

    podman pod kill mywebserver

Kill pod with a given ID

    podman pod kill 860a4b23

Terminate pod by sending TERM signal

    podman pod kill --signal TERM 860a4b23

Kill the latest pod created by Podman

    podman pod kill --latest

Terminate all pods by sending KILL signal

    podman pod kill --all
