29.Dt JEXEC 8
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm jexec
33.Nd "execute a command inside an existing jail"
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Nm
36.Op Fl u Ar username | Fl U Ar username
37.Ar jail command ...
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41utility executes
42.Ar command
43inside the
44.Ar jail
45identified by its jid or name.
46.Pp
47The following options are available:
48.Bl -tag -width indent
49.It Fl u Ar username
50The user name from host environment as whom the
51.Ar command
52should run.
53.It Fl U Ar username
54The user name from jailed environment as whom the
55.Ar command
56should run.
57.El
58.Sh SEE ALSO
59.Xr jail_attach 2 ,
60.Xr jail 8 ,
61.Xr jls 8
62.Sh HISTORY
63The
64.Nm
65utility was added in
66.Fx 5.1 .
67.Sh BUGS
68If the jail is not identified by
69.Ar jid
70there is a possible race in between the lookup of the jail
71and executing the command inside the jail.
72Giving a
73.Ar jid
74has a similar race as another process can stop the jail and
75start another one after the user looked up the
76.Ar jid .
