Hi,

I tend to have firejail execute some pretty long commands and the current display of firejail --list makes it quite hard to know at a glance what jails are running (especially with numerous firefox instances with several "--blacklist=" each).

What do you think of this :
Instead of returning "PID:User:Command", display "NameOfTheJailIfGiven [somekindofspacerliketab] - PID:User:command" with the named jails appearing at the top and then the unnamed.

Thanks for you time :)

We added the name of the sandbox in 0.9.54. It is something like this: "PID:User:Name:Command".

Example:

1389:netblue:browser:firejail firefox-esr 
20498:netblue:torrent:/usr/bin/firejail /usr/bin/transmission-qt
