# `incus admin shutdown`

Tell the daemon to shutdown all instances and exit

## Synopsis
```{line-block}

Description:
  Tell the daemon to shutdown all instances and exit

    This will tell the daemon to start a clean shutdown of all instances,
    followed by having itself shutdown and exit.

    This can take quite a while as instances can take a long time to
    shutdown, especially if a non-standard timeout was configured for them.
