From d96eb47dee10a059436b4d4cf285db1d70468e26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Heon Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2014 17:10:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Added note in manpages to clarify effect of docker start on started container When run on a container that is already running, docker always succeeds. This was an intentional change in v0.10; it previously caused an error. This commit clarifies the man pages to indicate this is intended behavior.
