I managed to do something like this with GNU screen:
screen -dm jack_capture -dc --meterbridge --timemachine --port system:playback_1 /dev/null
which fires up the meters, and auto-(re)connects nicely. Now the problem
remains, once I close the meters by closing their window (clicking the X
in my windown manager's window decoration) jack_capture itself will
continue to run, as it is waiting for user input.

Yes, when I run from a terminal it reconnects every time indeed.
Thank you so much!
