Thinking that it was more important to have a quality connection between JBookTrader and IB rather than between me and JBookTrader upon my return I started looking at the option of running JbookTrader in a shell account. Has any one done this? My internet provider shell account did not have java. After unsuccessful tries to install java in it, I then tried to find another internet provider with java jre 1.7. I opened an account with hypeshell.com and tried to install IB Gateway (unix version) there.. but have not been successful. It gives me some errors that it needs to set an 'X11 display variable' and it gets stuck giving me other errors such as 'Thread CPU time measurement is not supported'. I read some post saying that I could use a program called Xming in conjunction with Putty to display the (what would be) monitor screen into my personal computer. Still no success on that either. Bottom line, I thought I could have a command line only (no graphics) IB Gateway accessible through SSH (putty), and then start JBookTrader on a java command line and look at the JbookTrader web console over the net with the advantage of a fast quality connection between JBookTrader and IB, but I have not progressed beyond the first step: getting the IB gateway to run on a provider's shell account. Has anyone been successful in this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
