title: About the bash Resource
---
# bash
Use the `bash` InSpec audit resource to test an arbitrary command that is run on the system using a Bash script.
# Syntax
A `command` resource block declares a command to be run, one (or more) expected outputs, and the location to which that output is sent:
describe bash('command') do
it { should exist }
its('matcher') { should eq 'output' }
end
where
* `'command'` must specify a command to be run
* `'matcher'` is one of `exit_status`, `stderr`, or `stdout`
* `'output'` tests the output of the command run on the system versus the output value stated in the test
For example:
describe bash('ls -al /') do
its('stdout') { should match /bin/ }
its('stderr') { should eq '' }
its('exit_status') { should eq 0 }
end
# Matchers
This InSpec audit resource has the following matchers:
## be
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_be" %>
## cmp
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_cmp" %>
## eq
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_eq" %>
## exist
The `exist` matcher tests if a command may be run on the system:
it { should exist }
## exit_status
The `exit_status` matcher tests the exit status for the command:
its('exit_status') { should eq 0 }
## include
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_include" %>
## match
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_match" %>
## stderr
The `stderr` matcher tests results of the command as returned in standard error (stderr):
its('stderr') { should eq '' }
## stdout
The `stdout` matcher tests results of the command as returned in standard output (stdout).
its('stdout') { should match /bin/ }
# Examples
None.
