Enter the docker stop command with the Container ID in the command line to stop the Container. To allow graceful shutdown of processes within an Appliance Container, a timeout value of 600 seconds is recommended. This can be achieved as in the following example. 
# sudo docker stop {container-id} -t 600
Note: {container-id} can be the first six characters of the Container ID.
Example: Loading Appliance Containers
