## NAME
podman stop - Stop one or more containers

## SYNOPSIS
**podman stop [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [...]**

## DESCRIPTION
Stops one or more containers.  You may use container IDs or names as input. The **--timeout** switch
allows you to specify the number of seconds to wait before forcibly stopping the container after the stop command
is issued to the container. The default is 10 seconds.

## OPTIONS

**--timeout, t**

Timeout to wait before forcibly stopping the container

**--all, -a**

Stop all running containers.  This does not include paused containers.

**--latest, -l**
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman
to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.

## EXAMPLE

podman stop mywebserver

podman stop 860a4b23

podman stop mywebserver 860a4b23

podman stop --timeout 2 860a4b23

podman stop -a

podman stop --latest
