+---
+
+# Command: alloc stop
+
+The `alloc stop` command allows a user to perform an in-place restart of an
+entire allocation or individual task.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+nomad alloc stop [options] <allocation>
+```
+
+The `alloc stop` command requires a single argument, specifying the alloc ID or
+prefix to stop. If there is an exact match based on the provided alloc ID or
+prefix, then the alloc will be stopped and rescheduled. Otherwise, a list of
+matching allocs and information will be displayed.
+
+Stop will issue a request to stop and reschedule the allocation.  An interactive
+monitoring session will display log lines as the allocation completes shutting
+down. It is safe to exit the monitor early with ctrl-c.
+
+## General Options
+
+<%= partial "docs/commands/_general_options" %>
+
+## Stop Options
+
+* `-detach`: Return immediately instead of entering monitor mode. After the
+    stop command is submitted, a new evaluation ID is printed to the
+    screen, which can be used to examine the rescheduling evaluation using the
+    [eval status](/docs/commands/eval-status.html) command.
+
+* `-verbose`: Display verbose output.
+
+## Examples
+
+```
+$ nomad alloc stop c1488bb5
+==> Monitoring evaluation "26172081"
+    Evaluation triggered by job "example"
+    Allocation "4dcb1c98" created: node "b4dc52b9", group "cache"
+    Evaluation within deployment: "c0c594d0"
+    Evaluation status changed: "pending" -> "complete"
+==> Evaluation "26172081" finished with status "complete"
+
+$ nomad alloc stop -detach eb17e557
