Entering chroot, issue command, stay in chroot

n00b question.

I have to issue a terminal command that will enter a chroot, issue a command (such as "ls"), and then stay in chroot so the user can type more commands.

Right now this is the best I've got:

cat << EOF | sudo chroot /path/to/chroot
ls
EOF

Unfortunately this exits the chroot as soon as it is finished though.

How can I stay in the chroot?

You could do something like this:

sudo chroot /path/to/chroot sh -c "ls; bash"

This will run ls and then start an interactive bash shell.
