## kubectl stop

Gracefully shut down a resource by name or filename.

### Synopsis


Gracefully shut down a resource by name or filename.

Attempts to shut down and delete a resource that supports graceful termination.
If the resource is scalable it will be scaled to 0 before deletion.

```
kubectl stop (-f FILENAME | RESOURCE (NAME | -l label | --all))
```

### Examples

```
// Shut down foo.
$ kubectl stop replicationcontroller foo

// Stop pods and services with label name=myLabel.
$ kubectl stop pods,services -l name=myLabel

// Shut down the service defined in service.json
$ kubectl stop -f service.json

// Shut down all resources in the path/to/resources directory
$ kubectl stop -f path/to/resources
```

### Options

```
      --all=false: [-all] to select all the specified resources.
  -f, --filename=[]: Filename, directory, or URL to file of resource(s) to be stopped.
      --grace-period=-1: Period of time in seconds given to the resource to terminate gracefully. Ignored if negative.
  -h, --help=false: help for stop
      --ignore-not-found=false: Treat "resource not found" as a successful stop.
  -l, --selector="": Selector (label query) to filter on.
      --timeout=0: The length of time to wait before giving up on a delete, zero means determine a timeout from the size of the object
