Code like

|       mkdir -p $1/proc $1/dev/pts
|       mount -t proc none $1/proc
| 
|       rm -f `find var/run -type f`
|       rm -f  var/lock/subsys/*
| 
|       exec $_CHBIND $SILENT $IPOPT --bcast $IPROOTBCAST \
|               $_CHCONTEXT_COMPAT $SILENT $FLAGS $CAPS --secure --ctx 
$S_CONTEXT \
|               $_CAPCHROOT --suid $USERID . "$@"

(this enumeration is far away from being complete; just look
into the legacy 'vserver' script and you will find more of these
examples).
