 # Docker Autoheal
 
+Monitor and restart unhealthy docker containers.
 Monitor and restart unhealthy docker containers.
 This functionality was proposed to be included with the addition of `HEALTHCHECK`, however didn't make the cut.
 This container is a stand-in till there is native support for `--exit-on-unhealthy` https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/22719.

+### Post-Restart Script
+
+Here's an example of how you can execute a script after a restart.
+
+The following values are passed as arguments: `CONTAINER_NAME`, `CONTAINER_SHORT_ID`, `CONTAINER_STATE`, `RESTART_TIMEOUT`.
+
+```bash
+docker build -t autoheal .
+
+docker run -d \
+    -e AUTOHEAL_CONTAINER_LABEL=all \
+    -e POST_RESTART_SCRIPT=/scripts/post_restart.sh \
+    -v ./scripts:/scripts \
+    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
+    autoheal
+```
+
 ## Testing
 ```bash
 docker build -t autoheal .
 
 docker run -d \
     -e AUTOHEAL_CONTAINER_LABEL=all \
+    -e POST_RESTART_SCRIPT=/scripts/post_restart.sh
     -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
