When trying OPs code out, I had all the "linux binaries" in mind, aka all the shitty self-unpacking installers that concat their binaries and dump it in /tmp before executing it.

(you know, like proprietary drivers almost always do)

It would be a huge improvement for sysadmins if a linter could be run in advance of executing a shell script, and use chroot and other sandboxing like creating a user without net cap rights etc in case it found something potentially malicious.
