docker container wait

Description

Block until one or more containers stop, then print their exit codes

Examples

Start a container in the background.

$ docker run -dit --name=my_container ubuntu bash

Run docker wait, which should block until the container exits.

$ docker wait my_container

In another terminal, stop the first container. The docker wait command above returns the exit code.

$ docker stop my_container

This is the same docker wait command from above, but it now exits, returning 0.

$ docker wait my_container
