`exec` seems unecessary #30

Closed startakovsky closed 3 years ago

In latexdockercmd.sh it seems exec in the line below, when removed, still works just fine. Why is it necessary?

Thanks, Steven

It replaces the shell process instead of forking. This comes in handy so you don't need to manage exit codes and signals. Please see https://mywiki.wooledge.org/WrapperScript for reference
