I think the chess server see's not activity so it >will disconnect you after 1hr or so. If winboard can send a comand like P every >10 min or so then I would stay connected... any ideas? With winboard it is not possible. HOWEVER I have compiled a version of lightning rulez ( a winboard based client that DOES have stay alive features ) w/ zippy (it was meant for humans so not all zippy features are even there.... it is enough to run my program... I run GooberJr on FICS w/ it so if it ever gets kicked off it sends a message to the ICS, gets timed out, and the batch script relaunches it. If you want an executable (windows only...) just post and I'll email it to you.
