I tested by setting
hostcmd=: 2!:1
but it still waited for xpdf (my pdf viewer) to terminate. I'm not
sure why 2!:1 did not work as advertised.
But by adding an '&' such that
hostcmd=: [: 2!:0 '(' , ,&' || true)&'
then it works, but I only tested in jconsole not jwd
Since wd is not available for jconsole, it could be
if. VISIBLE *. 0 = 4!:0 <'PDFREADER_j_' do.
if. #PDFREADER_j_ do.
if. IFUNIX*.JCONSOLE do.
hostcmd (dquote PDFREADER_j_),' ',dquote file
else.
wd 'winexec *',PDFREADER_j_,' ',dquote file
end.
end.
end.
