What this snippet does
Without exec the wrapper stays PID 1 and shutdown signals never reach the real process.
Expected output
SIGTERM ignored, container killed after 10s
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.
