Shell form swallows signals in Docker

DockerCMD & ENTRYPOINTShell formintermediate

What this snippet does

Shell form runs the process under /bin/sh as PID 1, so SIGTERM never reaches the application.

Expected output

docker stop app   (10s timeout, then SIGKILL)

Why practise typing this

Typing cmd & entrypoint code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Docker uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
