Chroot in shell scripts: Ensuring that subsequent commands execute within the chroot
 

I currently am writing a shell script to install and configure a full system without Ubiquity and have run into a roadblock: When the script gets to the chroot (that being "sudo chroot <install drive mount point>, inside the chroot nothing happens. It just leaves me with the main prompt. Any ideas on how to fix this?

The manual page says 'chroot NEWROOT [COMMAND...]' as in 'sudo chroot echo "Hello World!";'? meaning you can either run a command directly or drop a shell script in the chroot and execute that.

sry for being slow with this.


just to clarify,
so where one might normally add /bin/bash, one can replace it with a script?

like in my case the line:becomeswitchroot being the script i had just generated.

does that seem right?

or would the ~ no, i'll simply ask that^ before i get any more confused.


...also... i wonder if there's a way (~sorry, perhaps veering somewhat off-topic with this~) to pass variables to the chrooted environment too. is there?
