mongod doesn't stop (docker debian:wheezy)

I have the following Dockerfile:

FROM debian:wheezy

RUN apt-get update

RUN apt-get install -y apt-utils

RUN apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv EA312927
RUN echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian wheezy/mongodb-org/3.2 main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Then I build the image:

docker build -t my/image .

and try to start and stop the server:

$ docker run -it my/image
root@35ba8193f979:/# service mongod start
[ ok ] Starting database: mongod.
root@35ba8193f979:/# service mongod stop
[FAIL] Stopping database: mongod failed!

As you can see, mongod fails to stop. I can verify this by running ps and grepping for the mongod process; it's still there.

Here's the logs:

I've googled for a solution already; most of the posts I find are very old, or don't describe the same problem as mine. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There appears to be an issue with service mongod stop since internally it calls a command which looks similar to:

start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/mongod.pid --user mongodb --exec /usr/bin/mongod

but the start-stop-daemon command somehow cannot find the executable /usr/bin/mongod, so it failed to stop the process. You can see the service script in /etc/init.d/mongod.

The solution that I found to be working is to call it without --exec directly from the command line:

start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/mongod.pid

and that seems to be able to stop the service properly.

I believe this issue is not limited to MongoDB, since I found multiple references about services not able to be stopped.
