Run a program inside JuNest from a shell script in host system #112

I have a Debian workstation at the university and I installed JuNest in my $HOME folder in order to be able to install my own programs. I would like to make it easier to run programs inside JuNest from the Debian host. For that purpose, I want to write a shell script that executes the junest command and then runs a specified program. However, I am having difficulties with the fact that junest creates a subshell (what is the proper term?). I do not know how to pass commands to the junest shell.

Hi,

You can even pass the command through the CLI. For instance:

junest -f -- pacman -Syu
....

Will update the JuNest system.
