Shut Down WSL Running Linux Distributions
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So you are running Linux inside Windows using WSL. And you are wondering how you can shut down the Linux distribution running in WSL.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can surely [try the shutdown command][1] from within the Linux system running in WSL:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
sudo shutdown now
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can also shut down Linux systems using WSL commands. It's an excellent method if you have more than one distro running is WSL.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Shutdown Linux in WSL using Windows Terminal
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In this method, I assume that the usual `shutdown` command doesn't work in WSL Linux Systems.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
First, open a terminal in windows. Here, I am using Windows 11 with an Ubuntu setup under WSL 2.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![Open a Windows Terminal][2]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
💡
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can use the wsl command on a standard Windows terminal. The command is also accessible inside a running Linux distribution. Here, the name of the command is wsl.exe.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, you need to list what distros are installed and what are their status. To do this, enter:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
wsl --list --verbose
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OR
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
wsl -l -v
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![List Installed Distributions][3]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here, you can see that, I have one installed WSL Ubuntu, which is currently running.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Shutdown all running Linux distributions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There may be times, when you want to stop app the running WSL instances in one go.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In Powershell or Windows Terminal, use this command:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
wsl --shutdown
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This will shut down all sessions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also, you can **perform the same function inside any running WSL Linux Distribution terminal**. You just need to use `wsl.exe` instead of `wsl`, while working inside a distribution.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
wsl.exe --shutdown
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![Shut Down All Running WSL Distributions][4]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once you run this command, all the running WSL distributions will be terminated. The WSL 2 lightweight utility virtual machine is also terminated. **So it will be useful, if you want to restart the WSL 2 virtual machine environment.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Terminate a particular Linux distribution
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To terminate a particular running WSL distribution, open a separate Windows terminal and run:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
wsl --terminate <Distribution Name>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here, the distribution name is the one you get, when you list all the installed WSL distributions using the `wsl -l -v` command.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![List WSL Distributions][5]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
wsl --terminate Ubuntu
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once executed, the specified Linux distribution will be terminated.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you are inside another distribution, list all the WSL distros installed on your system using:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
wsl.exe -l -v
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, terminate the required distro using:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
wsl.exe --terminate <Distribution name>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

### Conclusion
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some people just close the running Linux application but I don't think that's very graceful.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also, like a Linux terminal, you can either use:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* The `logout` command, to close that distro.
|
|||
|
|
* The `exit` command to quit that terminal running the Linux distro.
|
|||
|
|
* Or, press CTRL+D to do the same as exit command.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
But the WSL way of shutting down Linux system has the added advantage of doing it for multiple Linux systems.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I hope it helps you.
