+    docker-wait-any
+    This script takes one or more Docker container names as arguments,
+    and it will block indefinitely while all of the specified containers
+    are running. If any of the specified containers stop, the script will
+    exit.
+    This script was created because the 'docker wait' command is lacking
+    this functionality. It will block until ALL specified containers have
+    stopped running. Here, we spawn multiple threads and wait on one
+    container per thread. If any of the threads exit, the entire
+    application will exit.
+    NOTE: This script is written against docker-py version 1.6.0. Newer
+    versions of docker-py have a different API.
