The container can be referred to by its 13 name or ID. In the case of multiple containers, Podman waits on each consecutively. 14 After all conditions are satisfied, the containers' return codes are printed 15 separated by newline in the same order as they were given to the command. An 16 exit code of -1 is emitted for all conditions other than "stopped" and 17 "exited". 18 19 NOTE: there is an inherent race condition when waiting for containers with a 20 restart policy of `always` or `on-failure`, such as those created by `podman 21 kube play`. Such containers may be repeatedly exiting and restarting, possibly 22 with different exit codes, but `podman wait` can only display and detect one. 23 24 ## OPTIONS 25 26 #### **--condition**=*state* 27 Container state or condition to wait for. Can be specified multiple times where at least one condition must match for the command to return. Supported values are "configured", "created", "exited", "healthy", "initialized", "paused", "removing", "running", "stopped", "stopping", "unhealthy". The default condition is "stopped". 28 29 #### **--help**, **-h** 30 31 Print usage statement 32 33 34 #### **--ignore** 35 Ignore errors when a specified container is missing and mark its return code as -1. 36 37 #### **--interval**, **-i**=*duration* 38 Time interval to wait before polling for completion. A duration string is a sequence of decimal numbers, each with optional fraction and a unit suffix, such as "300ms", "-1.5h" or "2h45m". Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h". Time unit defaults to "ms". 39 40 @@option latest 41 42 ## EXAMPLES 43 44 Wait for the specified container to exit. 45 ``` 46 $ podman wait mywebserver 47 0 48 ``` 49 50 Wait for the latest container to exit. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines) 51 ``` 52 $ podman wait --latest 53 0 54 ``` 55 56 Wait for the container to exit, checking every two seconds. 57 ``` 58 $ podman wait --interval 2s mywebserver 59 0 60 ``` 61 62 Wait for the container by ID. This container exits with error status 1: 63 ``` 64 $ podman wait 860a4b23 65 1 66 ``` 67 68 Wait for both specified containers to exit. 69 ``` 70 $ podman wait mywebserver myftpserver 71 0 72 125 73 ``` 74 75 Wait for the named container to exit, but do not fail if the container does not exist. 76 ``` 77 $ podman wait --ignore does-not-exist 78 -1 79 ``` 80 81 ## SEE ALSO 82 **[podman(1)](podman.1.md)** 83 84 ## HISTORY 85 September 2017, Originally compiled by Brent Baude<bbaude@redhat.com>
