Using 2 CMD commands in dockerfile

When you use 2 CMD commands in docker file the last CMD command will be considered.
eg:

  1. Write dockerfile with 2 CMD commands:

FROM ubuntu
MAINTAINER Rajesh Kumar << rajesh@scmgalaxy.com>>
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get -y install tzdata
RUN apt-get install git -y && apt-get install -yq apache2
CMD echo "Hello world"
CMD ls

  1. Building the dockerfile:
    [root@localhost docs]# docker build -t aswin1 -f doc38 .
    unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile path: lstat /root/docs/doc38: no such file or directory
    [root@localhost docs]# docker build -t aswin1 -f doc8 .
    Sending build context to Docker daemon 10.75kB
    Step 1/8 : FROM ubuntu

    Step 2/8 : MAINTAINER Rajesh Kumar << rajesh@scmgalaxy.com>>

    ---> cfaefb036054
    Step 7/8 : CMD echo "Hello world"
    ---> Using cache
    ---> e3a33016f8d3
    Step 8/8 : CMD ls

  2. Running docker run command to create the container:
    [root@localhost docs]# docker run -itd aswin1

    [root@localhost docs]# docker ps -a
