Time to take a step backward and figure out what you're really trying
to accomplish. I think, after gazing idly into my crystal ball for a
while, that you actually want to chroot your script - instead of
seeing "/home/nikos/public_html/" it would see just "/", and then it
can't access anything outside of that.
