Thanks, but you only addressed one of the three suggestions I made; would you mind re-opening the PR and/or making the following two further changes? o If chroot indeed can only be run by the super-user, this should be properly documented, for example: "This command can be run only by the super-user." o "exec's command" should most probably read "exec's command relative to newroot".
