Recently I've had problems starting JHS. Essentially when starting init_jhs_ the system would appear to hang. When starting from a Linux terminal,( start jconsole, load 'ide/jhs/core' and then init_jhs_ '' ) the J console session appeared to hang. If I used Ctrl+C things would then start as normal.
I finally took some time to track down the problem and it appears to be a problem in getexternalip_jhs_ that tries to use wget to access the website http://www.check-ip.eu. The issue is that this website doesn't appear to exist any longer. Any suggestions for alternative sites or approaches to do the same thing? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
