    You will probably need to ensure that an exact copy of the script you are
    running is in the same relative location in teh chrooted environment
    otherwise the computer wont know what command to execute next as the
    script can no longer be found.

    the script will also need to be an exact copy, not just a file with the
    same name as the shell interpreter will be looking for an exact line/byte
    count as to where to find the next instruction out of the script.
