Usage: docker wait CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
|
|

|
> `docker wait` returns `0` when run against a container which had already
|
|
> exited before the `docker wait` command was run.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Start a container in the background.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker run -dit --name=my_container ubuntu bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `docker wait`, which should block until the container exits.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker wait my_container
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In another terminal, stop the first container. The `docker wait` command above
|
|
returns the exit code.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker stop my_container
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is the same `docker wait` command from above, but it now exits, returning
|
|
`0`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker wait my_container
|
|
|
|
0
|
|
```
