Executing a commandline from JConsole

Question

I've recently discovered the joy of going through JConsole.exe instead of J.exe to run various scripts. There's generally a noticeable performance gain.

However, sometimes I need to use wd winexec (calling ad-hoc programs for example) and in the console, 11!:0 (wd) support is not available.

Is there a way to send a command from JConsole.exe to the regular Windows command line interpreter? Or maybe a workaround?

You might try the task script. See the script itself for documentation.
J6: ~system/packages/misc/task.ijs',
J7: ~system/main/task.ijs

It contains utilities such as fork_jtask_, spawn_jtask_, shell_jtask_

You can load the script in both versions using: require 'task'
