     5  docker-exec - Run a command in a running container
     6  
     7  # SYNOPSIS
     8  **docker exec**
     9  [**-d**|**--detach**[=*false*]]
    10  [**--help**]

    14  
    15  # DESCRIPTION
    16  
    17  Run a process in a running container. 
    18  
    19  The command started using `docker exec` will only run while the container's primary
    20  process (`PID 1`) is running, and will not be restarted if the container is restarted.
    21  
    22  If the container is paused, then the `docker exec` command will wait until the
    23  container is unpaused, and then run
    24  
    25  # OPTIONS
    26  **-d**, **--detach**=*true*|*false*
    27     Detached mode: run command in the background. The default is *false*.
    28  
    29  **--help**
    30    Print usage statement
    31  
    32  **-i**, **--interactive**=*true*|*false*
    33     Keep STDIN open even if not attached. The default is *false*.
    34  
    35  **-t**, **--tty**=*true*|*false*

    39  standard input.
