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?
