I am about to develop a little script to gather information for a chroot-jail.

In my case this looks (at the first glance) pretty simple: The application has a clean rpm-install and did install almost all files into a sub-directory of /opt.

My idea is:

• Do a find of all binaries
• Check their library-dependencies
• Record the results into a list
• Do a rsync of that list into the chroot-target-directory before startup of the application

Now I wonder - ist there any script around that already does such a job (perl/bash/python)?

So far I found only specialized solutions for single applications (like sftp-chroot).

Update I see three close-votes for the reason "off topic". This is a question that arose because I have to install that ancient piece of software on a server at work. So if you still feel this is off-topic - leave a comment...
