alex@vostok:/Volumes/HD/dev/lockbash(master)$
New shell (locked to ~/Development/vagrant):
Last login: Sat Jan 31 00:07:56 on ttys003
Locked to /Users/alex/Development/vagrant
alex@vostok:~/Development/vagrant$
Script only puts some bash code at .bash_profile to cd locked directory, like that:
# lock bash
LOCK_FILE=#LOCK_FILE#/.lockbash
if [ -f $LOCK_FILE ]; then
DIR_TO_LOCK=$(cat $LOCK_FILE)
eval REALPATH=$DIR_TO_LOCK # to expand "~/dir", for example
if [ -d $REALPATH ]; then
cd $REALPATH
echo "Locked to $DIR_TO_LOCK"
fi
fi
With remove option, script deletes lockbash file and it removes code from .bash_profile file.
