ive been using sandfox since i threw it together months ago. as a shell script that calls python scripts, its been fine.

but when trying to make it a self contained python script, it fails almost every time if another instance is running. firemon will only see the first firejail, not the one just started. on a rare occasion, both will work.

in the bash version, fjdisplay is a python scripted called to find the display number for openbox. in the python version, i just pasted it in.

i hope theres just something stupid im missing here.

firejail 0.9.46, ubuntu 16.04
