The last container is marked as a ``Ghost`` container. It is a container that was running when the docker daemon was restarted (upgraded, or ``-H`` settings changed). The container is still running, but as this docker daemon process is not able to manage it, you can't attach to it. To bring them out of ``Ghost`` Status, you need to use ``docker kill`` or ``docker restart``.
``docker ps`` will show only running containers by default. To see all containers: ``docker ps -a``

``/containers/(id)/start``.
Once the container is stopped it still exists and can be started back up. See ``docker ps -a`` to view a list of all containers.
The ``docker run`` command can be used in combination with ``docker commit`` to
