Failing to start the neo4j database

I am starting the neo4j community edition as a container using the entry point script file. The content of the script file is:

#!/bin/bash
cd /var/lib/neo4j

bin/neo4j console

As soon as the container is started, i could see the below process for some seconds:

root        15    13 99 07:38 pts/0    00:00:09 /jdk/bin/java -cp /var/lib/neo4j/plugins:/var/lib/neo4j/conf:/var/lib/neo4j/lib/*:/var/lib/neo4j/plugins/* -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+UnlockExperim

After few seconds, this process vanishes and again if i try to start the database, below error occurs.
