Default Updating FreeBSD Jails after rebuilding world on host

This is a simple script I put together to automate the monotonous - and potentially dangerous - process of updating your jails to stay in sync with their host system. This is the only purpose the script serves; it is not intended to be a comprehensive jail management utility (like ezjail, for example). Please use it only if you understand what it is doing. It performs a few basic sanity checks, but if you were to provide weird directory data to MYJAILS1 you could get into serious trouble.

As written, this script applies to FreeBSD 6.x and 7.0. It assumes:
  1. You've rebuilt world on the host system, as described in Chapter 23 The Cutting Edge.
  2. You haven't deleted files (i.e. cleanworld) from /usr/src on the host system after the successful build.
  3. You have installed the sysutils/cpdup port.
  4. You're running the script as root.

Code:
#!/bin/sh

# Author: anomie
# Date  : 2008-09-06

# Please see copyright at bottom of script

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin

# Initialize MYJAILS1 with your Jails!   
# Do not use trailing slashes (/).

MYJAILS1="/usr/home/jail/10.5.5.101 \
          /usr/home/jail/10.5.5.102 \
          /usr/home/jail/10.5.5.103"

if [ -n "${JCHK1}" ] ; then 
  echo 'Shut down all Jails and try again. Exiting...'
  exit 1
fi

# Iterate through all Jails: first back each Jail up, then 
# install world, then merge. 

for I in ${MYJAILS1} ; do

  if [ ! -e ${I} ] ; then
    MSG1="Bad Jail directory ${I} - skipping..."
    chatter
    continue 
  fi 

  if [ -e ${I}.dup ] ; then 
    chflags -R 0 ${I}.dup
    rm -rf ${I}.dup
  fi

  cpdup ${I} ${I}.dup

  if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then

  cd /usr/src && make installworld DESTDIR=${I}

  chatter

done

echo 'Finished!'

exit 0
