Cannot stop or restart a docker container

Question

When trying to stop or restart a docker container I\'m getting the following error message:

$ docker restart 5ba0a86f36ea
Error response from daemon: Cannot rest         


        

Answer 1

in my case, i couldn't delete container created with nomad jobs, there's no output for the docker logs and, in general, it looks like frozen.

until now the solution is: sudo service docker restart, may someone suggest better one?
