% podman-restart(1)

## NAME
podman\-restart - Restart one or more containers

## SYNOPSIS
**podman restart** [*options*] *container* ...

**podman container restart** [*options*] *container* ...

## DESCRIPTION
The restart command allows containers to be restarted using their ID or name.
Containers will be stopped if they are running and then restarted. Stopped
containers will not be stopped and will only be started.

## OPTIONS
**--all**, **-a**
Restart all containers regardless of their current state.

**--latest**, **-l**
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman
to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.

The latest option is not supported on the remote client.

**--running**
Restart all containers that are already in the *running* state.

**--timeout**=*time*
Timeout to wait before forcibly stopping the container.


## EXAMPLES ##

```
$ podman restart -l
