# NAME
docker-exec - Run a command in a running container
# SYNOPSIS
**docker exec**
[**-d**|**--detach**[=*false*]]
[**--help**]
[**-i**|**--interactive**[=*false*]]
[**--privileged**[=*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

Detached mode: run command in the background. The default is *false*.
**--help**
Print usage statement
**-i**, **--interactive**=*true*|*false*

**--privileged**=*true*|*false*
Give extended privileges to the process to run in a running container. The default is *false*.
By default, the process run by docker exec in a running container

--user [user | user:group | uid | uid:gid | user:gid | uid:group ]
Without this argument the command will be run as root in the container.
The **-t** option is incompatible with a redirection of the docker client
standard input.
