Why docker container exits immediately

Question

I run a container in the background using

 docker run -d --name hadoop h_Service

it exits quickly. But if I run in the foreground, it works

Answer 1

whenever I want a container to stay up after finish the script execution I add

&& tail -f /dev/null

at the end of command. So it should be:

/usr/local/start-all.sh && tail -f /dev/null
