An openvz container can be stopped with
vzctl stop <id>
, but this needs the cooperation from the init inside the container. In case a container is compromised a way is needed to stop the container withouts its cooperation. Something like a
vzctl kill <id>
is needed which kills all processes inside the container and puts it into the stopped state. Such a kill command is not listed in the manpage.
How can an openvz container be killed/stopped without needing it's cooperation?
