Hi Craig,

I've got a docker container based on ubuntu that I've minimally upgraded 
to extract and build from our 'dist' tarball.  So I never remove it but 
instead just:

     sudo docker start <container_id>
     sudo docker cp <latest_tarball> <container_id>:root/
     sudo docker exec <container_id> bash

Then I ./configure --disable-shared followed by make.

Under those conditions I can't get the --container switch to work.

Can you help?

Regards,

Jim

p.s. also, did you intentionally exclude the -c switch from w and uptime 
--help?
