Stopping and removing a QNX Container
In this section, you stop and/or remove the container.
Depending on the type of container application,
the container may exit on its own after completing some tasks.
However, you may want to stop the container manually before
it completes its task, or if it's a long-running application.
Attention:
Always use the mechanisms below to shutdown and remove containers.
Do not try to remove filesystem components from command line.
Always use qcmctl <item> remove <item>.
Stopping a container
You can stop a container with the qcmctl container stop command;
for example:
# qcmctl container stop container1Note:
An optional timeout value may be passed to the stop
command to control the amount of time allowed for the container shutdown.
To immediately force stop a container, a timeout value of 0 may be specified.
The status command can provide useful information on
the state and exit code that resulted in the termination of the container:
# qcmctl container status container1
