Ok thank you. For clarification chrootbeg and chrootend were bash functions I created in the script not actual commands. If I do what you mentioned and create a separate script that contain just the commands to be run in a chroot env and put a exit command in it does that kills the script but doesn't exit the chroot environment? Then I have to type exit interactively at the prompt to exit the chroot env?

postfix-nochroot
postfix-nochroot(8) System Manager's Manual postfix-nochroot(8)
NAME
postfix-nochroot - change /etc/postfix/master.cf to not use chroot
SYNOPSIS
postfix-nochroot
DESCRIPTION
Renames /etc/postfix/master.cf to /etc/postfix/master.cf.bak and creates a new /etc/postfix/master.cf file with every service configured to
not use chroot. Every modified line is commented. It also restarts Postfix (to apply the change) and rmoves the unused chroot directories
/var/spool/postfix/{etc,lib,usr} .
Using a chroot environment makes upgrades more difficult and gets in the way when running SE Linux (without actually providing any security
benefit in a SE Linux system).
