Commands

alineo stop

Stop a sandbox by ID.

bunx alineo-cli stop <sandbox-id>

Arguments

ArgumentDescription
sandbox-idThe sandbox ID, as shown by alineo agents or printed by alineo start/alineo spawn. Required.

What it does

Connects to the sandbox via a live control-plane check (the same authoritative liveness check alineo prompt uses — see Why sandbox ID, not name) and closes it, deleting the container and releasing its resources.

Example

bunx alineo-cli stop 4af65c3b-24a2-4fd1-999d-918faa9b97fd
Stopped sandbox 4af65c3b-24a2-4fd1-999d-918faa9b97fd

Notes

  • stop only stops the sandbox it's given — it does not recursively stop any children that sandbox may have created via alineo spawn. Stop each one individually, or check alineo agents for the full list including untracked (agent-spawned) sandboxes.
  • If the sandbox is already stopped or never existed, the underlying live check fails and stop errors out rather than silently succeeding.
