NAME¶

docker-exec - Run a command in a running container

SYNOPSIS¶

docker exec [ -d|--detach[=false]] [ --help] [ -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. --help
Print usage statement -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.
