rbash: Execute commands from a script, stopping at the first error.

rbash

$ rbash -e ${path-to-script-sh}

The command "rbash -e ${path-to-script-sh}" runs a script file within a restricted bash environment. Here is a breakdown of what each part of the command does:

"rbash": This is the command to start a restricted bash session. Restricted bash, or rbash, is a shell that provides limited functionality to the user, restricting certain actions like changing directories, setting environment variables, or running certain commands.
"-e": This option is used to allow the execution of a command or script within the restricted environment.
"${path-to-script-sh}": This is a placeholder for the path to the script file you want to run. Replace "${path-to-script-sh}" with the actual path to the script file, including the file's name and the ".sh" extension.

By executing this command, the script file specified will run within a restricted bash environment, ensuring that certain potentially dangerous actions are restricted.
