Here it is:

#!/bin/vbash
source /opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template

curl https://rules.emergingthreats.net/open/suricata-6/emerging.rules.tar.gz --output /home/vyos/rules.tar.gz

# Path to the rules.tar.gz file
RULES_ARCHIVE="/home/vyos/rules.tar.gz"

# Directory where rules should be extracted
RULES_DIR="/config/suricata/rules/rules"

# Extract the rules.tar.gz file
tar -xvzf "$RULES_ARCHIVE" -C "$RULES_DIR" --overwrite

# Optional: Restart Suricata
restart container suricata

Try using run restart container suricata
