Check in advance what happens when you execute the command

Overview

Try using a Python tool maybe that allows you to see what happens when you execute a command.

It seems that you can check in advance about file operations such as file creation, deletion, movement, permission change by command execution 01.png

** Precautions **

That being said, maybe should :warning: NEVER :warning: be used to run untrusted code on a system you care about!
A process running under maybe can still do serious damage to your system because only a handful of syscalls are blocked.
Currently, maybe is best thought of as an (alpha-quality) "what exactly will this command I typed myself do?" tool.

Installation procedure

Install with pip

# pip install maybe

how to use maybe

Just add maybe before executing the command

$ maybe COMMAND [ARGUMENT]...

Try using

$ ls
file1  file2  file3

** Delete file **

$ maybe rm -f ./*
maybe has prevented rm -f ./file1 ./file2 ./file3 from performing 3 file system operations:

  delete /home/*******/test/file1
  delete /home/*******/test/file2
  delete /home/*******/test/file3

Do you want to rerun rm -f ./file1 ./file2 ./file3 and permit these operations? [y/N] y
$

Asks if you really want to do it

** Add directory / file **

$ maybe mkdir test ;maybe touch test/file1
maybe has prevented mkdir test from performing 1 file system operations:

  create directory /home/*******/test/test

Do you want to rerun mkdir test and permit these operations? [y/N] y
maybe has prevented touch test/file1 from performing 1 file system operations:

  create file /home/*******/test/test/file1

Do you want to rerun touch test/file1 and permit these operations? [y/N] y

** Starting a daemon **

# maybe /etc/init.d/docker start
Starting docker:
maybe has prevented /etc/init.d/docker start from performing 26 file system operations:

  write 33 bytes to /var/log/docker
  create file /root/nohup.out
  write 7 bytes to /var/log/docker
  write 35 bytes to /var/log/docker
  write 1 bytes to /var/log/docker
  create file /var/run/docker.pid
  write 4 bytes to /var/run/docker.pid
  write 91 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 5 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 7 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 6 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 7 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out
  write 1 bytes to /root/nohup.out

Do you want to rerun /etc/init.d/docker start and permit these operations? [y/N]
