title: Java program doesn't start on Unix machine
body: <p>When I start Java application from command line on AIX 6.1 machine the application just doesn't start. All I get is a blinking cursor, hitting CTRL+C doesn't help. It seats in the list of processes all the time. 
  Even running the following command produces the same result so I don't think it is program related. </p>
  
  <pre><code>java -version
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Cursor is blinking on the next line and nothing happens. When I open second session and type</p>
  
  <pre><code>ps -ef
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code> tomcat 32243914 31850686   0 13:50:27  pts/7  0:00 -ksh
   tomcat  5439538 32243914   1 13:50:50  pts/7  0:00 /usr/java6/jre/bin/java -version 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On Windows my program runs just fine. So I think it is JRE or Unix related.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not a Unix expert so I would appreciate any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this.</p>
