33.Nd "execute a command inside an existing jail"
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Nm
36.Op Fl l
37.Op Fl u Ar username | Fl U Ar username
38.Ar jail Op Ar command ...
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42utility executes
43.Ar command
44inside the
45.Ar jail
46identified by its jid or name.
47If
48.Ar command
49is not specified then the user's shell is used.

55The environment is discarded except for
56.Ev HOME , SHELL , TERM , USER ,
57and anything from the login class capability database for the user.

67.Sh SEE ALSO
68.Xr jail_attach 2 ,
69.Xr jail 8 ,
70.Xr jls 8
71.Sh HISTORY
72The
73.Nm
74utility was added in
75.Fx 5.1 .
76.Sh BUGS
77If the jail is not identified by
78.Ar jid
79there is a possible race in between the lookup of the jail
80and executing the command inside the jail.
81Giving a
82.Ar jid
83has a similar race as another process can stop the jail and
84start another one after the user looked up the
85.Ar jid .
