when reading docker events, how to quit docker events instead of entire program?












0















The requirement is inside a big while loop, given a specific docker container ID, I need to monitor the docker stop event using docker event command. When I found the event, I need to quit the docker event read.



The simplified bash script I wrote is as follows:



#! /bin/bash

while true
do
## other logics
docker events --filter='container=...' --filter='event=stop' | while read event
do
echo $event
break
done
echo "got here"
## other logics
done


So in one bash session, I would run this script, in another bash session, I would type the following command:
docker container stop cassandra-1



The problem is when I execute this bash program, I can capture the stop event, and print the event, but this command will read event repeated. How to quit the docker events and print "got here" ?



I've spent lots of time searching solution online, but can't find any good approach. I once considered using break, but it doesn't work, and I also considered kill -9 $$, but I will quit the entire script program. But I only need to quit the docker event instead of big while loop.



any good advice? Thanks so much!

  • Replace break with break 2?

  • Thanks Cyrus. Replace break with break 2 cannot work. I found the solution. Key point is to know how docker event command actually work. Based on my research, docker event will generate a process and stuck in the foreground process. You should CTRL+C to quit (refer to: docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/events). So you can not use break to get out of it. The approach is to execute docker event command in the background job and kill it when I found the event.
