# kill ``` Usage: hyper kill [OPTIONS] CONTAINER Kill a running container --help Print usage ``` The main process inside the container will be sent `SIGKILL`. > **Note:** `ENTRYPOINT` and `CMD` in the *shell* form run as a subcommand of `/bin/sh -c`, which does not pass signals. This means that the executable is not the container’s PID 1 and does not receive Unix signals. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
