NAME

lxc-kill - Send a signal to the process 1 of the container.

SYNOPSIS

lxc-kill --name=NAME SIGNUM

DESCRIPTION

lxc-kill send the SIGNUM signal to the first process of the container.

The SIGNUM is a numeric value, the signal name is not supported.

If this command is used on an application container ran by lxc-execute, the lxc-init will receive the signal and will forward it to the process 2 which is the command specified in the command line. See lxc-execute (1). Obviously the SIGKILL and SIGSTOP signals are not able to be forwarded, (as per the signal(7) man page).

COMMON OPTIONS

These options are common to most of lxc commands.

-?, -h, --help
Print a longer usage message than normal.
--usage

-q, --quiet

-o, --logfile=FILE

-l, --logpriority=LEVEL
Set log priority to LEVEL. The default log priority is ERROR. Possible values are : FATAL, CRIT, WARN, ERROR, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG.

Note that this option is setting the priority of the events log in the alternate log file. It do not have effect on the ERROR events log on stderr.

       lxc-kill --name=123 26
