Start TWO node scripts simultaniously in one docker container

Is something like this possible to run two node.js scripts in one docker container?

docker run -d --name nt -v "$PWD":/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app node node 2.js && node 1.js

Neither this:

docker run -d --name nt -v "$PWD":/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app node node 2.js node 1.js

Or is this something that is not meant to be?

First, use & instead of &&. One & means "send the command to background".
Second, use quotes in order to tell bash to not interpret the &, and leave the interpretation to the shell inside the container.
Third use 'sh -c' to group the commands (optional).

Do this:

docker run -d --name nt -v "$PWD":/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app node sh -c 'node 2.js & node 1.js'

However I recommend to use supervisor to get a more robust solution:
