we are trying to start softwares like Symantec ESM and IBM Tivoli ITM, those are host dependents, we have couple of questions like

1. how to start hostname specific applications on Docker Containers, because each time container provides unique hostname. So we have started with "docker run -i -t -h . how do we know while creating Docker Image, which hostname it is assigned.

2. To specify the host name we have options ENV HOSTNMAE in Docker file, the following docker file i have used. however got the error like "

after running the script /etc/init.d/esmrs start the status is EXited instead of UP. can you please help us on the above questions
