Give execute permission only to those executables, so it will be allowed to execute only those !

If this is not you expected, kindly explain about your requirement clearly. Also tell us what you have tried.

You can also create a chroot jail for users, or force them to use a restricted shell - rsh for example.

thanks for replying,

my requirement is:
user can run only those scripts which are in a particular directory along with only some of the regular shell commands like 'clear' etc.
it is somewhat like when u are in 'grub>' prompt can't run regular shell commands.
