2!:2 is for IO (file input/output) - I think you are
looking for 2!:0 --

I like to use a cover function that always returns a result:

  host =: [: 2!:0 '('"_ , ] , ' || true)'"_

e.g.

   host 'w'
  1:49pm  up 18 days, 17:04,  1 user,  load average: 0.04, 0.07, 0.02
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
jkt      pts/1    sens10            1:48pm  0.00s  0.16s  0.10s  ja

Is there some way to pass 'Terminal commands' to Linux directly from J?

I had hoped that "2!:2 '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls'  " might bring results
but apparently this and several other variations simply bring error
messages.
