unless you have a *very* good reason not too always put

   Thread.current.abort_on_exception

at the top of every Thread.new block

if you don't see an exception getting raise then one of two things is  
happening:

- the threads are blocked somehow
- you have blocked on the threads

i notice you are joining the thread in startIB - do you realize this  
is *exactly* like not using a thread at all?  why are you joining  
that thread?

unless "start E:\\TradingTools\IBController 
\IBControllerStart_customised.bat" exits instantly you are  
instructing your program to wait until it finished before continuing.
