Hey Jaromil,

> isn't the script called with execve or similar, so one can just choose

any shell?

Yes. Specifically: "execle( "/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", cmd, (char*)0, env
);", where cmd is the contents of the command= directive, and env is the
list of vdev-exported environment variables (all prefixed with "VDEV_").
NB: Vdev delegates setting up the shell environment beyond this to the
admin to ensure that a well-known PATH gets set, and to ensure that nothing
sensitive leaks over from vdev's environment to the script.
