Description

create_container only allows you to do the "exec like" version of CMD. This fails with the IPython Notebook, causing kernels to restart. If I was able to do the "as a shell" (sic) form, I would use that.

Research direction

Start at create_container and inspect how its command argument is translated for Docker's CMD forms, then read the linked Docker builder documentation. Confirm how shell-form commands should be represented; done means create_container supports that form without causing IPython Notebook kernels to restart.
