INCUS.ADMIN.SHUTDOWN(1)

💖 incus-admin-shutdown — bestie edition 💖

okay so we're in the Incus - Command line client(1) manual, babes ✨ think of this as the group chat where the most tech-fluent girl in the server explains the whole thing to you, no gatekeeping, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

incus-admin-shutdown — the lil command that tells the daemon to shut down all the instances and then dip out itself 👋

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

incus admin shutdown [flags]

that's it, that's the whole vibe. flags optional, drama mandatory 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie: this command tells the daemon to start a clean shutdown of all instances, and once that's done the daemon itself shuts down and exits. like, it tidies up the whole house and then locks the door behind itself 🚪✨

⚠️ heads up: this can take quite a while, okay? and not like "a few seconds" a while. instances can genuinely take a long-ass time to shut down, especially if a non-standard timeout got configured for them. so pour yourself a lil drink, put on a playlist, and let her cook 🍓

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -f, --force[=false] — skips the whole "wait for running operations to finish" thing and just forces the shutdown. impatient queen behaviour, honestly 👑
• -t, --timeout=0 — the number of seconds to wait before giving up. default is 0 🕐

---

🎀 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🎀

these cuties come free with the parent command, you don't have to do anything to get them:

• --debug[=false] — spills all the debug messages. for when you want every last detail 👀
• --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, it explains its parsed arguments instead of actually running it. it's giving "let's talk it out first" 💬
• --force-local[=false] — forces using the local unix socket instead of, y'know, the other thing 🔌
• -h, --help[=false] — prints help. your emergency bestie 🫶
• --project="" — override the source project 🗂️
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silence is golden, periodt 🤫
• --sub-commands[=false] — use this with help or --help to view the sub-commands 🌈
• -v, --verbose[=false] — shows all the information messages. the yapper setting 🗣️
• --version[=false] — prints the version number 🏷️
