Yes, it is possible:
chroot /mnt /boot/runzipl
This says to chroot to /mnt, and execute a script named runzipl that is
located at /boot (which really needs to be at /mnt/boot/runzipl). That
script, when it exits, will return you to your non-chrooted environment.
Any scripting language will work, as long as your chrooted environment
has the interpreter for that language contained within itself. In the
case above, I'm chrooting to a brand new Slack/390 installation, so
bash, etc. is already where it needs to be.
Some variation on this will work too:
cat lotsacommands | chroot /mnt /bin/sh
You can run any command stored in the chrooted system using the chroot
command (subject to PATH being set properly):
chroot /mnt service httpd start
