# kill
|
||
|
||
```markdown
|
||
Usage: docker kill [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
|
||
|
||
Kill one or more running containers
|
||
|
||
Options:
|
||
--help Print usage
|
||
-s, --signal string Signal to send to the container (default "KILL")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The main process inside the container will be sent `SIGKILL`, or any
|
||
signal specified with option `--signal`.
|
||
|
||
> **Note:**
|
||
> `ENTRYPOINT` and `CMD` in the *shell* form run as a subcommand of `/bin/sh -c`,
|
||
> which does not pass signals. This means that the executable is not the container’s PID 1
|
||
> and does not receive Unix signals.
