Stop a sandbox (disk is kept; stopped time is free)

## Usage

```text
pols stop SANDBOX [flags]
```

## Flags

```text
-h, --help                    help for stop
    --no-wait                 return at once instead of waiting for the sandbox to get there
    --wait-timeout duration   how long to wait (default 5m0s)
```

The [global flags](/reference/cli/#global-flags) work with this command too.
