If disconnecting is your problem, I'd like to share my elegant (IMO) solution. For my automatic chess server activities, I use 3 files. 1) A batch file to start everything. FRENZEE.BAT ----------- REM -- REM -- Start WinBoard in Zippy mode, and restart it each time it exits. REM -- sleep 30 :loop start /w winboard -debug @Frenzee.ini sleep 30 goto loop 2) A seperate .ini file which loads AFTER (and overrides) the default winboard.ini FRENZEE.INI ----------- /zp /zippyPassword apasswordhere /zippyPassword2 anotherpasswordhere ;ICC /ics /icshost chessclub.com /icsport 5000 /icshelper timestamp /icslogon FRENZEE.logon ; Frenzee /fd=G:\Fischer\Chess\Frenzee\Frenzee_ICC /fcp=Frenzee /saveGameFile=G:\Fischer\Chess\Frenzee\Frenzee_ICC\FRENZEE_ICC.pgn /autoSaveGames=true /xtop /xanimate /autoCallFlag=false /xexit /zippyMaxGames 10 /zippyReplayTimeout 3600 /zippyGameEnd='seek 10 0 f m\nseek 15 0 f m\nseek 25 0 f m\nresume\naway\n' 3) A file with the account login info FRENZEE.LOGON ------------- HandleHere PasswordHere seek 10 0 f m seek 15 0 f m seek 25 0 f m resume The only other thing you need is the Sleep utility which can be found at http://download.com.com/3000-2094-10121017.html?tag=lst-0-4 FRENZEE.BAT will pause 30 seconds, then attempt to connect to ICC. If it ever disconnects, it will wait 30 seconds and try to reconnect. If you ever want to stop playing, just close out the DOS console that is running FRENZEE.BAT, and issue the 'exit' command in the Winboard/ICC console. I hope that helps.
