GNU Rush is a Restricted User Shell designed for sites providing limited remote access to their resources, such as SVN or Git repositories, scp, or the like. Using a sophisticated configuration file, Rush gives you complete control over the command lines that users execute, as well as over the usage of system resources such as virtual memory, CPU time, etc. In particular, it allows you to run remote programs in a chrooted environment, which is important with such programs as sftp-server or scp that lack this ability.

Changes:
This version implements a new "post-process notification" feature, which allows it to notify third-party programs via an INET or Unix socket. The configuration file syntax has been extended with the new 'include' statement. Before startup, rush runs a sequence of security checks over the main configuration file and any eventual include files, and refuses to start up if any of these fail. Internationalization support is available, and translations to Polish and Ukrainian are included.
