Typically that's a service manager of some kind, since the tool is wrapped as a service. If you don't have that, you need to call it yourself somehow differently... That all said it's entirely sufficient to invoke the tool at container build time, and RPM scriptlets generally do that anyway. In that case there's no need to have it around at runtime.
