rbash: Execute a command and then exit.
$ rbash -c "${command}"
try on your machine

The rbash -c command is used to execute a specific command within a restricted Bash (rbash) shell.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • rbash: It launches the restricted Bash shell (rbash) instead of the regular Bash shell.
  • -c: It is an option used to specify a command that will be executed within the restricted shell.
  • "${command}": This is a placeholder that represents the actual command you want to run within the restricted shell. The command variable should be replaced with the desired command.

For example, if you have a command like ls -l, you would use the following syntax:

rbash -c "ls -l"

This command would execute the ls -l command within the restricted Bash shell (rbash). The rbash shell has certain restrictions in place to limit the user's access, such as preventing changing directories or modifying certain environment variables.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
