#!/usr/bin/env python """ 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 Python package 4.1.0. Newer versions of docker may have a different API.
