JEXEC(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual JEXEC(8)
NAME jexec - execute a command inside an existing jail
SYNOPSIS jexec [-l] [-u username | -U username] jail [command ...]
DESCRIPTION The jexec utility executes command inside the jail identified by its jid or name. If command is not specified then the user's shell is used.
The following options are available:
-l Execute in a clean environment. The environment is discarded except for HOME, SHELL, TERM, USER, and anything from the login class capability database for the user. PATH is set to "/bin:/usr/bin".
-u username The user name from host environment as whom the command should run. This is the default.
-U username The user name from jailed environment as whom the command should run.
SEE ALSO jail_attach(2), jail(8), jls(8)
HISTORY The jexec utility was added in FreeBSD 5.1.
BUGS If the jail is not identified by jid there is a possible race in between the lookup of the jail and executing the command inside the jail. Giving a jid has a similar race as another process can stop the jail and start another one after the user looked up the jid.
