💅 NAME

lxc-restart — restart instances, bestie. yes literally just that. iconic behaviour, no notes ✨

(real talk: this is a page from the LXD - Command line client manual, section 1, so you know exactly where you are 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS

lxc restart [<remote>:]<instance> [[<remote>:]<instance>...] [flags]

ok so that's the shape of it — fire it at one instance, or a whole little lineup of them, and sprinkle flags on top 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION

Restart instances. that's the whole vibe. it stops 'em and starts 'em back up, no cap.

and because the manual is feeling generous today, it also drops this little gem: the opposite of lxc pause is lxc start. 🦋 writing that down. putting it on a sticky note. main character knowledge fr fr.

🎀 OPTIONS

  • --all[=false] — run it against all the instances. every single one. go off 👑
  • --console[=""] — immediately attach to the console. like walking straight into the room the second the door opens 💅
  • -f, --force[=false] — force the instance to stop. no gentle goodbyes, we're yanking it 😭
  • --timeout=-1 — how long to wait for the instance to shut down cleanly. default is -1, which is the "we'll wait, bestie" setting ⭐

🔥 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

these ones you didn't even ask for — they came from the parent command and they live here now 🫶

  • --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages. the maximum-lore setting 🙈
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. stay local, stay grounded 🧚
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. when in doubt, ask the manual, she ate 💖
  • --project="" — override the source project 🌈
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silence. peace. a whole mood 🤫
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. little bonus menu of a menu 🍓
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all the information messages. give me everything, I want the full tea ☕
  • --version[=false] — print the version number. know your lore 🔥
