If you use exec in your container script, then the container or Kubernetes pod might exit after the command that is exec-ed into has exited. But if that’s what you wanted, then it’s okay. This blog tries to explain how to pass the signals to the applications, how they work differently when invoked uniquely and what to do if the application does handle them. What are the “Signals”?

How to do it consistently across all my machines? How to make it easier to have my setup available on any new Linux machine(or even container) I setup?...
