NAME
       podman-machine-restart - Restart a virtual machine


SYNOPSIS
       podman machine restart [options] [name]


DESCRIPTION
       Restarts a virtual machine for Podman.


       The default machine name is podman-machine-default. If a machine name
       is not specified as an argument, then podman-machine-default will be
       restarted.


       Stopping an already stopped virtual machine is not considered an error
       so running restart on a stopped virtual machine just starts it from a
       stopped state.


       podman machine restart stops and then starts a Linux virtual machine
       where containers are run.


OPTIONS
   --help
       Print usage statement.


   --no-info
       Suppress informational tips.


   --quiet, -q
       Suppress machine restarting status output.


EXAMPLES
       Restart a podman machine named myvm.

       $ podman machine restart myvm
