NAME
       podman-restart - Restart one or more containers


SYNOPSIS
       podman restart [options] container ...


       podman container restart [options] container ...


DESCRIPTION
       The restart command allows containers to be restarted using their ID or
       name.  Running containers are stopped and restarted. Stopped containers
       are started.


OPTIONS
   --all, -a
       Restart all containers regardless of their current state.


   --cidfile
       Read container ID from the specified file and restart the container.
       Can be specified multiple times.


   --filter, -f=filter
       Filter what containers restart.  Multiple filters can be given with
       multiple uses of the --filter flag.  Filters with the same key work
       inclusive with the only exception being label which is exclusive.
       Filters with different keys always work exclusive.


       Valid filters are listed below:
