You don't want to use a jump point.  Instead, create a script that does
what you want, test it from the shell, and if it works, use irexec to
call it.  Just create a stanza in your lircrc file calling the script
(likely you will need to use the full pathname), assign it to a button
and the irexec program.

Check some sample lircrc files on the specific syntax (google for irexec
and lircrc is a good start).
