All,
I'm trying to better understand how to use the IBrokers package by going
through the `IBrokers.pdf` vignette. I'm using the demo version of TWS
(login `edemo`). TWS seems to be running fine. However, I get stuck at
the following command from the vignette:

Thanks for the quick reply, but R still hangs after running this command
with the new ticker.

I don't know; it works for me. Does reqCurrentTime(tws) return the
current time?

Does it work for you in the demo TWS version as well?
For me, `reqCurrentTime` works fine in the demo TWS version, like all
the other examples in the vignette, except for `twsFuture`.

Yup. Works fine for me with the demo account on Ubuntu.
Have you tried restarting the TWS? (while you're at it, you might
consider using IB Gateway instead since it doesn't log you out every
day)

Thanks, Garrett, for your help anyway. I tried restarting TWS, but that
didn't help. Maybe I should try it on Ubuntu instead of Fedora.
Are you running TWS/Gateway on OpenJDK or Sun Java?
For IB Gateway, should I use the FIX CTCI or the IB API? When I log in
with CTCI I get Status is inactive
