Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2880

I wanted to run riot-web in Firejail, but there is already /usr/local/bin/riot-web, which is a symbolic link to /opt/Riot/riot-web. I installed it from the riot repo. What is the best way to deal with this problem? I also compiled Sylpheed from source and its executable is in /usr/local/bin too.

firejail version 0.9.58.2
Kubuntu 19.04

There's a whole bunch of possibilities.

change the .desktop file Exec=firejail /opt/Riot/riot-web
symlinking: dir_in_PATH_before_usr_local_bin/riot-web -> /usr/bin/firejail
Replacing /usr/local/bin/riot-web with a shell script #!/usr/bin/env sh\nfirejail /opt/Riot/riot-web "$@"
...

The best: IDK
The easiest: edit XXX.desktop
My favorit: a shell script in /usr/local/bin

Maybe sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firejail /usr/local/sbin/riot-web

Thanks. I choose /usr/local/sbin. It and $HOME/bin are good choices, because I don't have to change them every time riot-web is updated.

If you copy the .desktop to $HOME/.local/share/applications you need also no changes after an update.
