But I think that jtask is window specific. For example its LAUNCH verb

LAUNCH=: ('gnome-open';'open';'start') {::~ ('Linux';'Darwin')i.<UNAME

does not work well in linux because it depends on gnome desktop and
not work for other such as kde.  Even when gnome is used, a program
can be launch in various ways,
  the same terminal, 
  new tab of the same terminal
  a new terminal
  gnu screen
  a new floating window
  a new tab of an existing window
