Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/301

I was getting "No such file or directory" when I launched the command but I figured it's only logical because the new home dir is mounted so the command now cannot be found in the home dir.

My goal is I don't want the command has access to my files in the real home dir when I run it

@genodeftest commented on GitHub (Feb 17, 2016):

This is by design.

Two possible workarounds:

install local command in /usr/local/bin (requires root privileges for installation)
copy local command to a tempdir, add tempdir to ${PATH}
