# influxd-ctl entropy kill-repair

The `influxd-ctl entropy kill-repair` command removes a shard from the entropy repair queue.

This only applies to shards in the repair queue. It does not cancel repairs on shards that are in the process of being repaired. Once a repair has started, it can’t be canceled.

## Usage

```sh
influxd-ctl entropy kill-repair <shard-id>
```

## Arguments

-   **shard-id**: Shard ID to remove from the entropy repair queue

## Flags

*See [`influxd-ctl` global flags](/enterprise_influxdb/v1/tools/influxd-ctl/#influxd-ctl-global-flags).*

## Examples

```sh
influxd-ctl entropy kill-repair 21179
```
