ignite ps misses vms!

[lukemarsden]

vms are running. ignite ps doesn't notice them! but ignite inspect is able to see them.

compare docker's view of what's running:

$ for X in $(docker ps -aq); do docker inspect $X --format "{{.Config.Labels}}"|grep ignite |cut -d '[' -f 2 |cut -d ']' -f 1|cut -d : -f 2; done

to ignite ps's view:

$ sudo ignite ps -t "{{.ObjectMeta.Name}}"

@lukemarsden hi, in ignite v0.9.0, we added some improvements to help with this in #787 and #808 .
Can you try ignite v0.9.0 and run ps with -a and check if this is still an issue?
And also, to improve the warning in the output to be more helpful any feedback would be of great help.

Just noting "ps -a" from Dockerland expected behavior is to see images that exist but aren't running. This really confused me when I noticed that that ps vs ps -a was giving me hidden machines that were in fact in a running state.
