As far as I know, there's no way to make Terminal applications run 
directly from Unity 8.  The options I see are:
1) Open the terminal app and launch your application from the command 
line.
2) Create a GUI app with a terminal emulator that launches your command 
line application instead of a shell.  Presumably, you could copy much 
of the terminal app to do this.

I have no idea if support for terminal apps is on a roadmap.  Perhaps 
someone else can comment here.
