SYNOPSIS

       killjail [ -h | -r ] [ -t timeout ] [ -fq ] jailname ...

DESCRIPTION

       killjail can either send signals to a jailer(8) process to
       manage the shutdown or restart of a jail or  it  can  kill
       all the processes in a jail on it's own.

       When no options are given the jail is shutdown as follows:

       1. A stop request (SIGTERM) is sent to the jailer(8)  pro-
          cess  for  the  jail if there is one. This initiates an
          orderly shutdown.

       2. Any remaining processes are killed with a SIGTERM.

       3. If the -f option is specified, send a  SIGKILL  to  any
          remaining processes.

OPTIONS

       -f     Force  jail to shutdown sending a SIGKILL as a last
              resort.

       -h     Sends a halt request to a jail (SIGQUIT). The  jail
              must  have  a  jailer(8) process running inside it.
              The jailer(8) process remains  running  within  the
              jail,  but  all other jailed processes are shutdown
              in and orderly fashion.

       -q     Supress warnings.

       -r     Sends a restart request to  a  jail  (SIGHUP).  The
              jail  must  have a jailer(8) process running inside
              it.

       -t timeout
              The timeout in seconds to wait between steps  1,  2
              and 3 above. Defaults to 3.

       I'm sure they're out there. Let me know.
