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.

   --cidfile
       Read container ID from the specified file and remove  the  container.   Can  be  specified
       multiple times.

   --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. (This option is not available with the remote
       Podman 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

       podman kill --cidfile /home/user/cidfile-1
