lxc-kill1

Usage

Overview

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).
