How do I run nginx -t when nginx is running inside a docker container? [duplicate]

Question

Is there a way to run commands like

service nginx start
nginx -t

when nginx is running in a docker container without having to start the container's bash shell?

You can overwrite ENTRYPOINT or CMD by specifying them on docker run...

If you really need to start a service then add a ; sleep infinity.
