It still has security issues. Anything in $(brackets) or `backticks`, eval will try to execute.

Say you have this numeric variable that can be set by the user but you never want it to leave a certain range when it gets printed. How could you use parameter expansion such that it will never expand outside of that boundary? Thanks

bbstored-config
BBSTORED-CONFIG(8) Box Backup BBSTORED-CONFIG(8)
NAME
bbstored-config - Box Backup store daemon configuration file generator
SYNOPSIS
bbstored-config configdir servername username
DESCRIPTION
The bbstored-config script creates configuration files and server certificates for a bbstored instance. It takes three parameters:
configdir
The directory where config files will reside. A bbstored subdirectory will be created where several config files will reside. The
bbstored.conf file will be created in configdir.
servername
The name of the server that is being configured. Usually the fully qualified domain name of the machine in question.
username
The name of the user that should be running the bbstored process. Recommended name: _bbstored.
A valid raidfile.conf(5) must be found in configdir. Several steps are taken during the run of bbstored-config:
o Server certificates are created. This requires interaction from the operator.
o The RAID volumes are checked to ensure that the configuration is consistent and will work.
o Instructions for next steps to take are shown. These steps may be different for different OS platforms, so pay close attention to these
instructions.
FILES
/etc/box/bbstored.conf
