Description: wrapper script which proxies signals to a child

dumb-init is a simple process supervisor and init system designed to run

as PID 1 inside minimal container environments (such as Docker).

Lightweight containers have popularized the idea of running a single

process or service without normal init systems like systemd or sysvinit.

However, omitting an init system often leads to incorrect handling of

processes and signals, and can result in problems such as containers

which can't be gracefully stopped, or leaking containers which should

have been destroyed.

dumb-init acts as PID 1 and immediately spawns your command as a child

process, taking care to properly handle and forward signals as they are

received.
