+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>
+
+```
+
+![Shutting down a WSL Distribution from inside another][6]
+
+### 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.
