## Description
|
|
|
|
The main process inside the container will receive `SIGTERM`, and after a grace
|
|
period, `SIGKILL`. The first signal can be changed with the `STOPSIGNAL`
|
|
instruction in the container's Dockerfile, or the `--stop-signal` option to
|
|
`docker run`.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ docker stop my_container
|
|
```
