okidoki :)
however, i must say there's already support for just that although
indirectly, through qjackctl presets.
in summary, you can have presets with different server paths, for
instance, one preset named as MYPRESET for which the server path is
"jackd -n MYJACK", where MYJACK will be the server name. then you can
invoke it trough the command line as
qjackctl --start --preset=MYPRESET
right, but that only works for _starting_ servers, not to attach to
already existing ones. that would be the precise purpose of the new
command line option you're asking for (-n, --server-name=[label], sets
the default server name) perhaps, right?
please note, that's also what the environment variable
(JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER) already does as part of the jackd specification
(jack 1 at least), so the new option will be an added convenience
