mongo disconnect after connecting to executing thru shell in docker

I want to close the mongo shell after executing the following in a docker command:

#!/bin/bash

docker run -it --link sonams-mongo:mongo --rm mongo sh -c 'exec mongo "$MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP_ADDR:$MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP_PORT/test"'

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then \
  echo "connected to mongo successful"; \
else \
  echo "mongo connection NOT successful"; \
fi; \

When it connects it goes to a shell prompt within mongo. Is there a way to pass a shell command to do an exit right in or after the docker command?

thanks

Usually (of course it depends on the base image you're using) you wouldn't need to invoke "sh -c". Also, the -it combination is usually what makes the shell open and wait for input. Try to change your command a little bit, like below, without -it and sh -c:

docker run --link sonams-mongo:mongo --rm mongo mongo "$MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP_ADDR:$MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP_PORT/test"

if that doesn't help, try this:

echo "$MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP_ADDR:$MONGO_PORT_27017_TCP_PORT/test" | docker run --link sonams-mongo:mongo --rm mongo mongo
