Apple WebObjects: wotaskd, the daemon that starts, stops, and advertises application instances.
wotaskd is the WebObjects task daemon; it listens on 1085 and is how the web-server adaptor discovers which application instances exist and how JavaMonitor starts and stops them, including via multicast to 239.128.14.2 on the same port. Apple discontinued WebObjects after 5.4.3 in 2008, but deployments survive and the stack lives on through the WOCommunity's Project Wonder. Seeing 1085 open means a Java WebObjects deployment host, usually alongside JavaMonitor on 56789 and application instances on higher ports.
Do not expose
wotaskd controls application lifecycle on the host. It is a deployment control plane on an unmaintained framework — keep it behind the web tier on a private network.
