The ';' characters on the command line don't cause any problem because
the actual command lines generated by Applab don't include the output
direction as in the above example and are executed using the Perl's exec
function. Outputs of the command  line jobs are collected by the
launchers by listening the stdout and the stderr ports of the child
processes that actually execute the command lines.
