Cannot stop or restart a docker container

Question

When trying to stop or restart a docker container I\'m getting the following error message:

$ docker restart 5ba0a86f36ea
Error response from daemon: Cannot rest         


        

Answer 1

Worth knowing:

If you are running an ENTRYPOINT script ... the script will work with the shebang

#!/bin/bash -x

But will stop the container from stopping with

#!/bin/bash -xe
