Linux: lxc forcefully stop and kill container

To forcefully stop and kill an LXC container on a Linux system, you can use the lxc-stop command with the -k option.

For example, to forcefully stop and kill the LXC container with the name "mycontainer", you can use the following command:

lxc-stop -n mycontainer -k

This will send the SIGKILL signal to the processes in the LXC container, effectively killing the container.

Note: This option should be used with caution, as it may result in data loss or corruption if the processes in the LXC container are not properly terminated.

You can find more information about the lxc-stop command and its options in the lxc-stop documentation or by running the lxc-stop --help command.

Alternatively, you can use the lxc-kill command to send a signal to the processes in the LXC container. For example, to forcefully kill the LXC container with the name "mycontainer", you can use the following command:

lxc-kill -n mycontainer 9

This will send the SIGKILL signal to the processes in the LXC container, effectively killing the container.

You can find more information about the lxc-kill command and its options in the lxc-kill documentation or by running the lxc-kill --help command.
