'--restart on-failure' parameter seems to cause '--name' and --entrypoint' to be ignored?!

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind bug

Description

This one seems really odd, and I've just removed and re-added every argument to podman to confirm, but it seems that if --restart on-failure (or --restart=on-failure - I've not tried the other --restart options) is specified then (at least) --name and --entrypoint (and any follow-on parameters) are ignored!

e.g.

podman --log-level=info run --interactive --mount type=bind,source=/var/run/syslog-ng/log,destination=/dev/log --mount type=bind,source=/etc/dovecot,destination=/etc/dovecot,ro=true --mount type=bind,source=/etc/ssl/,destination=/etc/ssl/,ro=true --mount type=bind,source=/var/lib/dovecot,destination=/var/lib/dovecot --mount type=bind,source=/var/log/dovecot,destination=/var/log/dovecot --mount type=bind,source=/var/run/dovecot,destination=/var/run/dovecot --mount type=bind,source=/home,destination=/home --mount type=bind,source=/storage/mail,destination=/storage/mail --name openrc-dovecot-2.3.11.3 --network host --publish 143:143/tcp --publish 993:993/tcp --publish 24242:24242/tcp --restart=on-failure --tty --workdir / --name openrc-dovecot-2.3.11.3-inspect --replace --rm --entrypoint=/bin/sh service.net-mail.dovecot:2.3.11.3

vs.

... noting that the only difference in the podman parameters is the presence or absence of --restart on-failure.

As well as the default entrypoint being executed in the first instance (with --restart on-failure) rather than the specified override, also note that the first instance has been assigned the name funny_carson rather than the requested name.

Have you tested with the latest version of Podman and have you checked the Podman Troubleshooting Guide?

Yes

[zhangguanzhang]

#7895 will fix this

[zhangguanzhang]

you could remove the --rm option to resolve this problem
