NAME
docker-exec - Run a command in a running container
SYNOPSIS
docker exec [-d|--detach[=false]] [-i|--interactive[=false]] [-t|--tty[=false]] CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...]
DESCRIPTION
Run a process in a running container.
The command started using docker exec
will only run while the container's primary
process (PID 1
) is running, and will not be restarted if the container is restarted.
If the container is paused, then the docker exec
command will wait until the
container is unpaused, and then run
OPTIONS
-d, --detach=true|false Detached mode: run command in the background. The default is false.
-i, --interactive=true|false Keep STDIN open even if not attached. The default is false.
-t, --tty=true|false Allocate a pseudo-TTY. The default is false.
The -t option is incompatible with a redirection of the docker client standard input.
