The default is *false*. 33 34 **--sig-proxy**=*true*|*false* 35 Proxy all received signals to the process (non-TTY mode only). SIGCHLD, SIGKILL, and SIGSTOP are not proxied. The default is *true*. 36 37 # EXAMPLES 38 39 ## Attaching to a container 40 41 In this example the top command is run inside a container, from an image called 42 fedora, in detached mode. The ID from the container is passed into the **docker 43 attach** command: 44 45 # ID=$(sudo docker run -d fedora /usr/bin/top -b) 46 # sudo docker attach $ID 47 top - 02:05:52 up 3:05, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 48 Tasks: 1 total, 1 running, 0 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie 49 Cpu(s): 0.1%us, 0.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st 50 Mem: 373572k total, 355560k used, 18012k free, 27872k buffers 51 Swap: 786428k total, 0k used, 786428k free, 221740k cached 52 53 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 54 1 root 20 0 17200 1116 912 R 0 0.3 0:00.03 top 55 56 top - 02:05:55 up 3:05, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 57 Tasks: 1 total, 1 running, 0 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie 58 Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.8%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st 59 Mem: 373572k total, 355244k used, 18328k free, 27872k buffers 60 Swap: 786428k total, 0k used, 786428k free, 221776k cached 61 62 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 63 1 root 20 0 17208 1144 932 R 0 0.3 0:00.03 top 64 65 # HISTORY 66 April 2014, Originally compiled by William Henry (whenry at redhat dot com) 67 based on docker.com source material and internal work. 68 June 2014, updated by Sven Dowideit <SvenDowideit@home.org.au>
