I use this or something like it:

#!/usr/bin/tcsh
# Run multiple games based on standard opening positions
cp match.pgn match.bak
rm match.pgn

set player1 = "./newKS xboard"
set player2 = "./postmod xboard"
set tc  = 10
set inc = 2
set testset = "../epd/nunnboth.epd"

set position = 0

while ($position < 30)

        @ position++
        echo Running Position $position
        xboard -mg 2 -tc $tc -inc $inc  -lpf $testset -lpi $position -sgf \
                match.pgn -autoflag -fcp "$player1" -scp "$player2" \
                -animateMoving False \
                -showCoords True -size Small \
                -ponderNextMove False -popupExitMessage False

        @ position++
        echo Running Position $position
        xboard -mg 2 -tc $tc -inc $inc  -lpf $testset -lpi $position -sgf \
                match.pgn -autoflag -fcp "$player2" -scp "$player1" \
                -animateMoving False \
                -showCoords True -size Small \
                -ponderNextMove False -popupExitMessage False


end


This is a tcsh script called "nunngame102".
