I was trying start the sshd service in a docker container using the below command,
docker exec -it <container_id> service ssh start
Starting sshd: [ OK ]
docker exec -it <container_id> service ssh status
openssh-daemon is stopped
docker exec -it <container_id> netstat -antlp
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
but if i get into the bash of the docker container and start the service it is working
docker exec -it <container_id> bash
[root@3c07f19f36d6 /] service ssh start
Starting sshd: [ OK ]
[root@3c07f19f36d6 /] service ssh status
openssh-daemon is running
