jmore(8)

FreeBSD Jail listing and managing utility.

FAQ

Why jmore(8) name?

Initially it was named jless(8) and below is the reasoning for that choice ...

Because that is the closest thing to FreeBSD base system jls(8) command and it has some reference for other known less(8) command.

But seschwar from lobste.rs page made me aware that there already is a jless project available - command line JSON viewer written in Rust - thank You for that.

So as less(8) is more(8) and more(8) is less(8) - I took the decision to rename it from jless(8) to jmore(8) to avoid confusion.

Why another jail(8) containers listing/managing tool?

Because builtin jls(8) is very limited and does not display VNET IP(s) and interfaces.

Also because - if You do now want to use full blown jail(8) manager such as BastilleBSD - which is very good by the way - the base system tools are just too limited for comfort work.

I also needed a tool that will allow me to fast start/stop/restart FreeBSD jail(8) containers with minimal typing - more time to focus on what matters.

Does it support listing BastilleBSD Jails?

Yes - it reads /usr/local/etc/bastille/bastille.conf config and also checks BAST_DIR for jail(8) containers.

Is it tested?

Yes - its a modified and improved version of https://github.com/vermaden/scripts/blob/master/jails.sh that I already used for quite some time.
