## Docker kill
|
|
|
|
`docker kill` kills one or more running Docker containers by names or IDs.
|
|
|
|
The basic usage is:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker kill mycontainer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or with container ID:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker kill 769b9341d937
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To kill more than one container, container names or IDs must be added with a whitespace character between them:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker kill mycontainer mysecondcontainer mythirdcontainer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
