+# NAME
+docker-exec - Run a command in an existing container
+
+# SYNOPSIS

+[**-i**|**--interactive**[=*false*]]
+[**-t**|**--tty**[=*false*]]
+ CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...]
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Run a process in an existing container. The existing CONTAINER needs to be active.
+
+# Options
+
+**-d**, **--detach**=*true*|*false*
+   Detached mode. This runs the new process in the background.
+
+**-i**, **--interactive**=*true*|*false*
+   When set to true, keep STDIN open even if not attached. The default is false.
+
+**-t**, **--tty**=*true*|*false*

+    Usage: docker exec CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...]
+
+    Run a command in an existing container
+
+      -d, --detach=false         Detached mode: run the process in the background and exit

+
+The `docker exec` command runs a user specified command as a new process in an existing
+user specified container. The container needs to be active.
+
+The `docker exec` command will typically be used after `docker run`.
+
+### Examples:
+
+    $ sudo docker run --name ubuntu_bash --rm -i -t ubuntu bash
+
+This will create a container named 'ubuntu_bash' and start a bash session.
+
+    $ sudo docker exec -d ubuntu_bash touch /tmp/execWorks
+
+This will create a new file '/tmp/execWorks' inside the existing and active container
+'ubuntu_bash', in the background.
+
+    $ sudo docker exec ubuntu_bash -it bash
+
+This will create a new bash session in the container 'ubuntu_bash'.
