+#### Restart Policies
+
+Using the `--restart` flag on docker run you can specify a restart policy for 
+how a container should or should not be restarted on exit.
+
+** no ** - Do not restart the container when it exits.
+
+** on-failure ** - Restart the container only if it exits with a non zero exit status.
+
+** always ** - Always restart the container reguardless of the exit status.
+
+You can also specify the maximum amount of times docker will try to restart the 
+container when using the ** on-failure ** policy.  The default is that docker will try forever to restart the container.
+
+    $ sudo docker run --restart=always redis
+
+This will run the redis container with a restart policy of ** always ** so that if 
+the container exits, docker will restart it.
+
+    $ sudo docker run --restart=on-failure:10 redis
+
+This will run the redis container with a restart policy of ** on-failure ** and a 
+maximum restart count of 10.  If the redis container exits with a non-zero exit 
+status more than 10 times in a row docker will abort trying to restart the container.
