for reference, my rule looks like this:

aRule:
    docker-compose exec -d service /bin/bash -c "/path/to/drush -y drush-commmand"

On Ubuntu 16.04 and 14.04, if I run a command such as docker-compose exec -d service /bin/bash -c "/path/to/drush -y drush-commmand in a Makefile rule, Makefile hangs and then fails due to MemoryError from the docker container. This command, however, works in both centos and docker-machine.

I try to substitute the command with docker-compose exec service /bin/bash -c "path/to/drush -y drush-command (without the -d flag) and this time the drush command succeeds, however the Makefile fails with error code 129.

I then try to rectify the issue with the modified command, docker-compose exec service /bin/bash -c "path/to/drush -y drush-command 1>/dev/null", this works... but seems a bit hack-ish

What is the correct way of doing this and why am I getting the aforementioned errors?
