### Example #2 - Run a shell script
### Example #2 - Run `mkhomedir_helper`
Many Linux distributions provide a script that is responsible for user homedir bootstrapping: `/sbin/mkhomedir_helper`. To make use of it, you can use
```python
def create_dir_hook(spawner):
username = spawner.user.name
if not os.path.exists(os.path.join('/volumes/jupyterhub', username)):
subprocess.call(["sudo", "/sbin/mkhomedir_helper", spawner.user.name])
# attach the hook function to the spawner
c.Spawner.pre_spawn_hook = create_dir_hook
```
and make sure to add
```
jupyterhub ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/mkhomedir_helper
```
in a new file in `/etc/sudoers.d`, or simply in `/etc/sudoers`.
All new home directories will be created from `/etc/skel`, so make sure to place any custom homedir-contents in there.
### Example #3 - Run a shell script
You can specify a plain ole' shell script (or any other executable) to be run
by the bootstrap process.
