Winboard automatically sends "gameend" to ICC when a game ends.  If you
alias that to something useful, like a "seek" or "remat" then it will work
as if you had sent that command instead...

Of course, using the "tellics xxxxx" winboard command, you can send anything
you want to the server without relying on just gameend...
