Scheduling cron inside docker container

I was trying to schedule a cron job inside docker based logstash application.

The cron job is as follows:

   30 10 * * * root logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/logstash

The cron is not getting executed inside container but when I execute the above command manually it works fine. 

 # logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/logstash
 # ls -l /usr/share/logstash/logs/
 total 36
 -rw-r--r-- 1 logstash logstash    17 Jan  2 10:16 logstash.log
 -rw-r--r-- 1 logstash logstash 10701 Jan  2 10:16 logstash.log.1

This might be a duplicate of Cronjobs in Docker container how get them running?

It basically says, that you need to make sure, that /etc/init.d/cron start is running.
