Thanks very much Richard! It works splendidly...
The reason for StartIBC is to use it in a Python wrapper for IBC. IBC then becomes a 'component' that can be started and stopped at will, with the arguments of choice. The code is here. There are some advantages to this over using IBC as a 'service' that has to be running when the API software starts. For example, the API software can start IBC itself and monitor/restart it if required (watchdog). Also there is only one config file needed (with the real password) and with the arguments one can select between TWS or gateway, live or paper, real or edemo etc.
Thanks again and congratulations on the successful launch of the IBC project. It's too bad that the IBC name on group.io is already taken by a book club, but I for one would not mind to see the official IBC discussion on the TWSAPI list like it always was for ibcontroller up until some years ago.

It's recommended that you use the higher-level scripts twsstart.sh
and gatewaystart.sh
, which make life easier.
But you can use ibcstart.sh
if you have some particular reason to. For example some Docker images use ibcstart.sh
because they don't want the banner window displayed.
