.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBlxc-stop\fR reboots, cleanly shuts down, or kills
all the processes inside the container. By default, it will
request a clean shutdown of the container by sending
\fBlxc.signal.halt\fR (defaults to SIGPWR) to
the container's init process, waiting up to 60 seconds for the container
to exit, and then returning. If the container fails to cleanly exit in
60 seconds, it will be sent the \fBlxc.signal.stop\fR
(defaults to SIGKILL) to force it to shut down. A request to reboot will
send the \fBlxc.signal.reboot\fR (defaults to SIGINT) to the
container's init process.
.PP
The [-W], [-r],
[-k] and [--nokill]
options specify the action to perform.
[-W] indicates that after performing the specified
action, \fBlxc-stop\fR should immediately exit, while
[-t TIMEOUT] specifies the maximum amount of time
to wait for the container to complete the shutdown or reboot.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-r,\-\-reboot \fR\*(T>
Request a reboot of the container.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-k,\-\-kill \fR\*(T>
Rather than requesting a clean shutdown of the container, explicitly
kill all tasks in the container. This is the legacy
\fBlxc-stop\fR behavior.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-\-nokill\fR\*(T> 
Only request a clean shutdown, do not kill the container tasks if the
clean shutdown fails.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-\-nolock \fR\*(T>
This option avoids the use of any of the API lxc locking, and should
only be used if \fBlxc-stop\fR is hanging due to a bad
system state.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-W,\-\-nowait \fR\*(T>
Simply perform the requestion action (reboot, shutdown, or hard
kill) and exit.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-t,\-\-timeout \fR\*(T>\fITIMEOUT\fR 
Wait TIMEOUT seconds before hard-stopping the container.
.SH "EXIT VALUE"
.TP 
0
The container was successfully stopped.
.TP 
1
An error occurred while stopping the container.
.TP 
2
The specified container exists but was not running.
.SH DIAGNOSTIC
.TP 
The container was not found
The specified container was not created before with
the \fBlxc-create\fR command.
