Restart TWS without IBC to keep session

Riks All Messages By This Member #1948 Hi, ? First of all, thank you very much for your work, Richard. And my question: is there any way to restart programmatically TWS tidy without closing IBC (like a daily restart) to keep the same session during the week (I need this if something wrong happened for example API couldn't connect due to socket error and etc.) Stop.bat close IBC as a result new session and 2x factor authentification. ? Regards, Alexander
Richard L King Member Profile All Messages By This Member #1949 As it happens, TWS has a File \| Restart... menu item which does exactly what you want. It works with IBC exactly as you'd expect, just like an auto-restart - in fact IBC can't tell the difference between the two. It would be possible to provide a RESTART command, similar to the STOP command, but are you able to just use the menus manually?? Note that this restart menu item isn't available for Gateway, but maybe IB will provide it in a future version.?

Riks All Messages By This Member #1950 Thanks, but really it would be great to have RESTART command, similar to the STOP for full automation of the process. ? Regards, Alexander

I will do this command when I get some time to do it.

t1user All Messages By This Member #1956 Sorry, missed this part, my bad, will read more carefully in the future. So, basically at the moment there is no way to restart Gateway without triggering 2FA (apart from automatic daily restarts)? This life thing is overrated. There's no reason to prioritise it over work on IBC.
Richard L King Member Profile All Messages By This Member #1957 开云体育 That’s correct. ? Having said that, it occurs to me that until IB provide the Restart menu entry in Gateway, it would be possible for IBC’s proposed RESTART command to force a Gateway restart by explicitly changing the Auto-restart time to something in the near future: Gateway would then do a normal restart when that time arrived, and IBC would do the necessary. Because doing this would persist that new auto-restart time in the Gateway settings, It would be necessary for config.ini to contain the AutoRestartTime setting to reconfigure it back to the desired ‘normal’ time. ? I don’t know how close to current time you can set the Auto-restart time such that Gateway will act on it, but I can find out via experimentation. But it may be necessary to incur a delay of say 30 seconds when using this approach. ? Regarding life, Marvin the paranoid android would agree with you, but I’m not sure working on IBC would have alleviated the pain in all the diodes down his left side… ? ? ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of t1user Sent: 20 December 2022 10:47 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ibc] Restart TWS without IBC to keep session ?

Richard L King Member Profile All Messages By This Member #1961 开云体育 I didn’t manage to get as far as I hoped yesterday – it was all working fine for TWS, but not yet for Gateway. ? As I’m not sure when I’ll be able to finish the Gateway work, I decided to issue a beta version so that TWS users can test the new RESTART command (if you try it on Gateway, the command will be accepted but nothing happens, it just keeps running). ? So this is IBC 3.16.0-beta.1: ? ? You’ll need to extract the IBC.jars and version files, overwriting your existing ones. ? If you’re running on Windows, you’ll also need to extract the new SendCommand.bat script, and the SendIBCCommand.vbs file from the /Scripts subfolder. You’ll probably need to Unblock all these files. You’ll need to read the comments in SendCommand.bat and make any necessary changes. SendIBCCommand.vbs should not be altered. When you run this script, you must supply the relevant command as the first argument, for example: ? SendCommand RESTART ? or ? SendCommand STOP ? On Linux, run the telnet session in the usual way and use the command RESTART (I can never remember how to script telnet on Linux, and I don’t want to waste time looking it up now, but I’m sure you lot know what to do). ? ? ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Richard L King Sent: 20 December 2022 13:17 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ibc] Restart TWS without IBC to keep session ?
