You are going to need something that will run inside the jails own
process stack. If you run it from the main system you are going to
orphan the process and it will be running outside the jail (eliminiating
the point of the jail <g>) And it will also not be visable to the jail
anymore as well. The easiest way i've found is to use cron. Setup a
cron tab that reads every 5min. and exectures using the periodic script
all the files in a directory every 5min. You will also want to throw in
something like 999.cleanup which will delete once run all the files in
that directory this code will do that nicly:
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
for i in $( ls /etc/periodic/imeme); do
if [ "$i" != "999.cleanup" ]; then
rm /etc/periodic/imeme/$i
fi
done
and of course you will need to change /etc/periodic/imeme to whatever
directory it is you use.
But now you can throw bash files into this directory and have the
execute ONCE and then be destroyed then all you need is
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl restart
