MACHINECTL(1) machinectl MACHINECTL(1)
NAME
machinectl - Control the systemd machine manager
SYNOPSIS
machinectl [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND} [NAME...]
DESCRIPTION
machinectl may be used to introspect and control the state of the
systemd(1) virtual machine and container registration manager systemd-
machined.service(8).
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-p, --property=
When showing machine properties, limit the output to certain
properties as specified by the argument. If not specified, all set
properties are shown. The argument should be a property name, such
as "Name". If specified more than once, all properties with the
specified names are shown.
-a, --all
When showing machine properties, show all properties regardless of
whether they are set or not.
-l, --full
Do not ellipsize process tree entries.
--kill-who=
When used with kill, choose which processes to kill. Must be one of
leader, or all to select whether to kill only the leader process of
the machine or all processes of the machine. If omitted, defaults
to all.
-s, --signal=
When used with kill, choose which signal to send to selected
processes. Must be one of the well-known signal specifiers, such as
SIGTERM, SIGINT or SIGSTOP. If omitted, defaults to SIGTERM.
--no-legend
Do not print the legend, i.e. the column headers and the footer.
-H, --host=
Execute the operation remotely. Specify a hostname, or username and
hostname separated by "@", to connect to. This will use SSH to talk
to the remote machine manager instance.
-M, --machine=
Execute operation on a local container. Specify a container name to
connect to.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
--no-pager
Do not pipe output into a pager.
The following commands are understood:
list
List currently running virtual machines and containers.
status ID...
Show terse runtime status information about one or more virtual
machines and containers. This function is intended to generate
human-readable output. If you are looking for computer-parsable
output, use show instead.
show ID...
Show properties of one or more registered virtual machines or
containers or the manager itself. If no argument is specified,
properties of the manager will be shown. If an ID is specified,
properties of this virtual machine or container are shown. By
default, empty properties are suppressed. Use --all to show those
too. To select specific properties to show, use --property=. This
command is intended to be used whenever computer-parsable output is
required. Use status if you are looking for formatted
human-readable output.
terminate ID...
Terminates a virtual machine or container. This kills all processes
of the virtual machine or container and deallocates all resources
attached to that instance.
kill ID...
Send a signal to one or more processes of the virtual machine or
container. This means processes as seen by the host, not the
processes inside the virtual machine or container. Use --kill-who=
to select which process to kill. Use --signal= to select the signal
to send.
reboot ID...
Reboot one or more containers. This will trigger a reboot by
sending SIGINT to the container's init process, which is roughly
equivalent to pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del on a non-containerized system.
login ID
Open a terminal login session to a container. This will create a
TTY connection to a specific container and asks for the execution
of a getty on it. Note that this is only supported for containers
running systemd(1) as init system.
EXIT STATUS
On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
ENVIRONMENT
$SYSTEMD_PAGER
Pager to use when --no-pager is not given; overrides $PAGER.
Setting this to an empty string or the value "cat" is equivalent to
passing --no-pager.
$SYSTEMD_LESS
Override the default options passed to less ("FRSXMK").
