Thanks for the startup script.
Problem is when the daemon is running on the background I can't start the JDownloader GUI.
How could I be able to run it on background but still open the GUI when needed?

I think is not possible, JDownloader avoids to open multiple windows, so, one process only. Use the web interface or the app of JDownloader.
