								## Docker kill
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`docker kill` kills one or more running Docker containers by names or IDs.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The basic usage is:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								docker kill mycontainer
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Or with container ID:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								docker kill 769b9341d937
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								To kill more than one container, container names or IDs must be added with a whitespace character between them:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								docker kill mycontainer mysecondcontainer mythirdcontainer
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |
