rbash: Execute a script, printing each command before executing it.

rbash

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

try on your machine

The command "rbash -x ${path-to-script-sh}" is used to execute a script file in restricted bash (rbash) mode with debug option enabled.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"rbash": It is a restricted shell provided by Bash, which limits the capabilities of the user running it. It restricts access to certain features and commands to provide additional security.
"-x": It is an option that enables debug mode in rbash. When this option is used, rbash will display each command it executes along with any output or error messages.
"${path-to-script-sh}": This is a placeholder for the actual path to the script file you want to execute. You need to replace "${path-to-script-sh}" with the correct path to your script file, including its name and file extension (e.g., /path/to/script.sh).

By running this command, the specified script file will be executed in restricted bash mode with debug mode enabled. This can be useful for troubleshooting and understanding how the script is being executed, and to identify any potential errors or issues in the script.
