How to reopen TWS on rdesktop after it is closed?

[jeremytanjianle]

Hi there,

When using the docker image while simultaneously running live and paper TWS, what if we accidentally close the paper TWS for whatever reason?

How can we re-open the paper TWS, without restarting the docker container and disrupting the live TWS instance?

Thanks and regards

if you are into bash scripting you need to replicate the environment vars defined here and run IBC. that's not so simple

The way it works is quite simple, once the last TWS (paper or live doesn't really matters) instance exists, both will be restarted.

Thanks @gnzsnz

Thanks for pointing to the bash scripting components.

Sorry to clarify, what do you mean by "when last TWS instance exists"?

If you meant to say "when the last TWS instance closes," does that mean the solution is to close all TWS instances?

Thanks again

yes correct, once the last one is closed the start script will be run again and start-up TWS again. depending on your settings this will be live, paper or both.
