I think in this type of situation the "screen" utility could come in
handy. You can run a program like "screen jackstart" or whatever from a
virtual terminal and then do a "CTRL-A D" to detach from it (it is still
running) and then in an X terminal you can do a "screen -r" at any time
to re-attach to the running program. I'm not sure how to do this between
different users so you will probably need to su to root in your X
terminal (if you are running the application as root) before this will
work (or perhaps there is a way to grab screen sessions from other
users, after entering a password or something, donno). Cheers.
