The two mv commands lets me keep the most recent 3 log files of everything ICC sent to crafty as ics.log, ics.log.1 and ics.log.2.. the sleep 5 is to keep it from logging back on too quickly. IE start two of the above and you have a race to end all races. :) #!/bin/csh limit coredumpsize 0 ./killcrafty setenv CHESSDIR /home/hyatt/ics setenv ZIPPYPASSWORD <password> setenv ZIPPYPASSWORD2 <password> setenv ZIPPYNOPLAYCRAFTY 1 xboard -xexit -popupExitMessage false -icshelper /usr/local/bin/timestamp -xanimate -geometry +0+0 -ics -zp -autoflag -icshost 204.178.125.65 -fcp "crafty" -size small -initString "" -xreuse The "killcrafty" script is something I run to make sure I don't have crafty running already. IE I might start a test set and then forget and log crafty on to ICC. "killcrafty" kills any running crafty executables to avoid an obvious problem.
