Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3220

I have a shell script that launches several related but differently-optioned firejails. The last one is launched by exec, hence it becomes the parent process of the others. This causes firetools fstat and firejail --list to not show the other firejails. They do show up under firejail --tree, but not as top-level firejails.

This is a very minor issue, as whenever it is important to have firejail --list or fstat differentiate properly, I won't exec any firejails.
