Great, thks, it hep me a lot. Already have my cron working.... but would like to understand.....Why can not crond be daemonized ?

If you daemonize cron, supervisord will take that as an exit and repeatedly try to "restart" the process.

@agorostidi as far as I know, supervisord only manages non-daemon processes. For example, if you want to use supervisord to manage Nginx, you have to modify the nginx configuration, and turn off the daemon option.

But in this example supervisord will be running and not giving me a shell when I satrt the docker image, I also want the shell and want supervisord to run in the bg?

@gerroon if you need a shell in your container, i presume to make changes, you can run docker exec -ti <repo> sh. Or do you want supervisor to spawn a shell for you?
