</div></div>Hmm, I'm able to shut it down gracefully. I frequently do package builds<br>
in systemd-nspawn.<br>
<br>
Reading your email, I did this below test:<br>
<br>
On one terminal:<br>
<br>
$ systemd-nspawn -D /srv/testcontainer<br>
Spawning container testcontainer on /srv/testcontainer. Press ^] three<br>
times within 1s to abort execution.<br>
<br>
<br>
On another terminal, invoke machinectl:<br>
<br>
$ machinectl<br>
MACHINE CONTAINER SERVICE<br>
testcontainer container nspawn<br>
<br>
1 machines listed.<br>
<br>
<br>
Kill the systemd-nspawn process:<br>
<br>
$ pkill systemd-nspawn<br>
<br>
<br>
At this point, on the other terminal you see KILL signal invokcation:<br>
<br>
[. . .]<br>
-bash-4.2#<br>
Container testcontainer terminated by signal KILL.<br>
$<br>
<br>
<br>
Invoke machinectl again:<br>
<br>
$ machinectl<br>
MACHINE CONTAINER SERVICE<br>
<br>
0 machines listed.<br>
<br>
$ machinectl status testcontainer<br>
Could not get path to machine: No machine 'testcontainer' known<br>
