Shell Script in rbash

I have an account configured to utilize rbash as its shell.

I am able to successfully create links to binaries that can be executed by the restricted shell user without problem.

However, how do I go about providing the user with the ability to execute shell scripts from his command line?

For example, I have the bash script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

/bin/ls

echo "I am finished"

Is it possible to run this script by the restricted shell user without getting the error "-rbash: /bin/ls: restricted: cannot specify `/' in command names"?

I was somewhat under the assumption that the script would execute in the unrestricted bash shell.

Instead of calling /bin/ls , try just calling ls. The restricted shell doesn't want you to use the "/" character in your command names. I believe the restricted shell is going to limit you to commands found in your path.
