In order to avoid a situation where commands are run without clear visibility

the entrypoint completes, the script will transparently bootstrap the command
to the user, make sure your script ends with something like `exec "$@"` (see

After the entrypoint completes, the script will transparently bootstrap the command
invoked by the user, making what has been run clear to the user (for example,
`docker run -it mysql mysqld --some --flags` will transparently run
`mysqld --some --flags` after `ENTRYPOINT` runs `initdb`).
