Subject: some threads are not starting

I have this code to start 4 prog in 4 separate threads. however 2 of
the ibScans and
emailProcessing threads are not even starting. dunno why.

ibScans and emailProcessing are not even starting and i dont see the
puts hitting it at all.
#require 'sendmail'
require 'twsFunctions'
require 'sendGmail'



   def startIB
       @ibThread=Thread.new do
             system("start E:\\TradingTools\\IBController\
\IBControllerStart_customised.bat")

           end
           @ibThread.join

           puts "ib started #{ @ibThread.status}"
  end


def ibScans
    @ibScansThread=Thread.new do
    load 'twsScans.rb'
    end
    @ibScansThread.join
     puts "ib scans  started #{ @ibScansThread.status}"

end
def abScans
    @abScansThread =Thread.new do
    load "ABScans.rb"
    end
    @abScansThread.join
    puts "ab scans  started #{ @abScansThread.status}"
end
def emailProcessing
    @emailThread=Thread.new do
        while true

            load 'ScansNotifier.rb'
            sleep(30)
        end

    end
