Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This was briefly discussed in https://github.com/BastilleBSD/bastille/issues/193 along with a patch (at the time) by johanhen.
This is another usability issue, not a bug. When using bastille for more than a small number of containers, using the hostname to console into the containers becomes... tedious. No one wants to type: "bastille console reallyreallylonghostnamethattakestoolongtotypeandiserrorprone". When it would be MUCH quicker and simpler and remove that pain point to simply use the JID #. "bastille console 1" is clearly easier to do than having to type in the reallyreallylonghostname.
Describe the solution you'd like
What I would like to see is a small modification so that users can simply type in the JID # when console'ing into a container. I'm not proposing changing the current way of typing in the hostname, I am simply suggesting to allow the user to enter either the hostname OR the JID # to console into a container. Ex. "bastille console 1". I am actually kind of surprised this has not been brought up before. Using hostname's only imo becomes tedious pretty quickly with more than a handful of jails. This is not a high priority of course, just something I think is a pain point I would like to see removed.
