I needed to run J from the unix command line, and I didn't find anything up on jsoftware.com that seemed to fit the bill.
So I added a J entry to rosettacode that illustrates some of the concepts: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Multiline_shebang#J Hypothetically speaking you could build J scripts to be used as filters in unix pipelines. That's not really where J shines, but it's completely doable. Also not that if you want to use J's control structures in this kind of context you can wrap them like this: 3 :0'' if. test ARGV do. echo 'yep' end. ) But note that names must be defined before they are used...
