lxc-shutdown(1)						       lxc-shutdown(1)

NAME
       lxc-shutdown - externally shut down or reboot a container

SYNOPSIS
       lxc-shutdown {-n name} [-w] [-r]

DESCRIPTION
       lxc-shutdown  sends  a  SIGPWR signal to the specified container to re‐
       quest it to cleanly shut down. If [-w] is specified, then  lxc-shutdown
       will wait until the container has shut down before exiting.  If [-r] is
       specified, the container will be asked to reboot (using a  SIGINT  sig‐
       nal),  and [-w] will be ignored. If the container ignore these signals,
       then nothing will happen. In that case, you can use lxc-stop  to	 force
       the container to stop.

COMMON OPTIONS
       These options are common to most of lxc commands.

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

       --usage
	      Give the usage message

       -q, --quiet
	      mute on

       -P, --lxcpath=PATH
	      Use an alternate container path. The default is /var/lib/lxc.

       -o, --logfile=FILE
	      Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no log.

       -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.

       -n, --name=NAME
	      Use  container identifier NAME.  The container identifier format
	      is an alphanumeric string.
