No, jack is a sound server for professional purpose, it is not a plugin host. You could start jackd by a script and automatically start https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/jack-rack , too, with the desired plugin and its desired settings. Let the script restore connections by using https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/aj-snapshot . That's not the only solution to your problem, but it's cumbersome to mention alternatives, while you even didn't mention what Ubuntu release you are using, or if you are using jackdbus. Btw. when using a GUI you indeed need to keep the Window open, so jack-rack isn't an alternative to calf. If you don't want a GUI, use an audio host without a GUI. Audio apps without GUI aren't my domain, but if you want to place a GUI app to what ever desktop and/or minimised it by any size at any position, you could use https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/xdotool and https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/wmctrl by the script to achieve this. You could replace jackd by a wrapper, to run the script as jackd instead of directly running jackd. dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/bin/jackd.real /usr/bin/jackd The above command would move /usr/bin/jackd to /usr/bin/jackd.real , even if you would upgrade the jackd package, it wouldn't change. You could call the script jackd and let the script start jackd.real. Perhaps Ubuntu Studio does something similar already, so first check if it isn't already done.
